About St Martin's Church of England Primary School

St Martin's Church of England Primary School sits almost exactly on the North Somerset average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — matching the local authority average of 61%. That places it 34th out of 64 primary schools in the area, squarely in the middle of the pack. The school's ranking percentile of 55 nationally suggests it performs broadly in line with the typical state primary across England too. Where it does stand out is in the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects: just 6%, which is notably low. The school's maths and reading average scores of 104 and 105 respectively are solid, but the higher-achieving figures — 18% in maths, 22% in reading, 14% in writing — suggest that while most children meet expectations, fewer than average are stretching beyond them. This is a school that delivers consistent, middle-ground results rather than exceptional ones.
