St John the Evangelist Church School
About St John the Evangelist Church School
St John the Evangelist Church School stands out in North Somerset for its strong Key Stage 2 results, comfortably exceeding the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 61% for primary schools. That places the school 14th out of 64 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top quarter nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 73 reflects solid, consistent performance, though it sits just outside the top ten in the LA, behind peers like Northleaze Church of England Primary School and Winscombe Primary School. The school is oversubscribed, receiving 77 applications for 35 places in 2025/26, with all 35 first-preference applicants offered a spot. This suggests a strong local reputation, though the oversubscription ratio of 2. 2 to 1 indicates competition for places.
