About St Nicholas Church School

St Nicholas Church School, a Church of England primary in Bath and North East Somerset, sits at an interesting point in the local league table. Its headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 56%, which is six percentage points below the local authority average of 62%. That places the school 39th out of 52 primaries in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the LA ranking. The gap is notable, but the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 67% of pupils hit the expected standard and 26% reached the higher standard, both respectable figures. Maths tells a slightly different story: 63% reached the expected level, but only 19% achieved the higher standard. The school’s national percentile ranking of 66th suggests it is performing broadly in line with the middle of the pack across England, rather than struggling significantly.
