About St Cuthbert's Church of England Academy Infants and Pre-School

St Cuthbert's Church of England Academy Infants and Pre-School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent graded inspections. The most recent full inspection took place in 2014, with an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirming the school remains Good. Leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, were both judged Good in that 2014 graded inspection. For a school catering to children aged 2 to 7, the most informative academic metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. In Somerset, the average percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at KS2 is 59%. While St Cuthbert's does not publish its own KS2 results in this data set, its Good rating and the fact that it is oversubscribed suggest parents have confidence in its academic provision. The school's early years provision was previously rated as Requires Improvement in 2009, but the overall trajectory has been positive, with the school now holding a Good rating across all assessed areas.
