About St Julian's Church School

St Julian's Church School stands out sharply against the local average for primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 62%, St Julian's achieves 91% — a full 29 percentage points higher. That places the school second out of 52 primary schools in the local authority, and in the top 2% nationally. It's a small school, with capacity and pupil numbers both at 112, but its academic performance is clearly well above the norm for the area. The school is also oversubscribed: for 16 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 32 applications, with 15 of those coming as first preferences. That ratio of two applicants per place suggests local families recognise the strength of what's on offer here. Headteacher Isobel Mills leads a Church of England primary that, despite its size, consistently delivers results that outpace most other schools in the region.
