About St John's Church of England Primary School

St John’s Church of England Primary School in Bath and North East Somerset holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection in 2013. The inspection report shows that personal development remains a real strength, rated Outstanding, while the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management are all rated Good. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 63 per cent. That is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 62 per cent, placing the school 26th out of 52 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset. It is a solid, middle-of-the-pack performance that reflects consistent teaching rather than headline-grabbing results.
