About St John's CofE Primary School

St John’s CofE Primary School in Bath and North East Somerset holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection. The school’s most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 58% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the local authority average of 62%, placing the school 34th out of 63 similar primaries in the area. In national terms, it ranks in the 60th percentile among all state primaries. Digging into the individual subjects, reading and writing fare better than maths: 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 80% in writing, while maths stood at 73%. Higher-standard attainment is more modest, with 24% reaching the higher bar in reading and 22% in maths, and none recorded in writing. The school’s overall ranking score of 58 places it in the bottom half of schools nationally, though its reading and writing results suggest solid foundations in literacy.
