St Mary's Catholic Primary School
About St Mary's Catholic Primary School
St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Bath and North East Somerset holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The inspection report awarded Good marks across every category that was judged, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Early years provision also received a Good rating, which is a notable improvement from the Requires Improvement grade it was given in the previous inspection back in 2015. This upward trajectory in early years is a meaningful indicator for parents of younger children considering the school. While the 2024 inspection did not assign an overall effectiveness grade, the consistency of Good ratings across all individual areas suggests a stable and well-run school. Of the 63 primary schools in the local authority, only seven hold an Outstanding rating, placing St Mary's within the solid majority of Good-rated schools in the area.
