About St Nicholas Chantry Church of England Primary School

St Nicholas Chantry Church of England Primary School in North Somerset is a state primary for 329 pupils, comfortably below its 400-pupil capacity. The school serves a relatively affluent intake, with just 6. 4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well below the national average. Despite the spare capacity, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 72 applications for 40 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 8, and all 40 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This suggests a school that is popular within its local community, particularly among families who value its Church of England character. The school is led by headteacher Ro O'Reilly and was most recently inspected by Ofsted in October 2024, receiving a Good rating across all areas including behaviour, personal development, and early years provision. This represents a notable improvement from its previous inspection in June 2022, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall.
