St Andrew's Church School
About St Andrew's Church School
St Andrew's Church School sits in a tricky spot when you line it up against the local authority average for primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the key KS2 benchmark) is 62 per cent, but at St Andrew's that figure is 43 per cent. That is a gap of nearly 20 percentage points, and it places the school 46th out of 52 primaries in the area, firmly in the bottom half of the local league table. The picture is similar when you look at individual subjects: 57 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, 60 per cent in writing, and 50 per cent in maths, all below the LA norm. The school is also oversubscribed — 83 families applied for 30 places in 2025/26 — so demand remains strong despite the headline results, suggesting parents are weighing other factors beyond raw exam scores.
