St Michaels Junior Church School
About St Michaels Junior Church School
St Michaels Junior Church School in Bath and North East Somerset presents a striking contrast to the local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (KS2) sits at 62%, St Michaels achieves just 31%. This places the school 51st out of 63 primary schools in the authority, firmly in the bottom half of the local rankings. Nationally, it sits in the 97th percentile of lowest-performing schools on this metric. The gap is significant and consistent across individual subjects: only 38% of pupils meet the expected standard in maths, 53% in reading, and 53% in writing. No pupils reached the higher standard in any of the three subjects. These figures are not a reflection of a single year's cohort — the school's ranking data is calculated from the most recent available results and paints a clear picture of academic performance well below the local norm.
