About St Saviours Infant Church School
Parents considering St Saviours Infant Church School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 59 applications for just 35 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.69. Of those 59 applications, 32 were first-preference choices, and all 32 first-preference families were offered a place. This suggests that while the school is in demand, it is not so oversubscribed that local families with a genuine preference are routinely disappointed. The school is a Church of England primary for children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Joe Beament. With 145 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, there is some room for growth, and the school's relatively small size will appeal to parents looking for a close-knit infant setting.
Academically, St Saviours has made clear progress. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks across all five key areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This represents a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management also Requires Improvement. The early years provision has moved from Requires Improvement to Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results — it only goes up to Year 2 — the local authority average for KS2 attainment is 62, which provides a benchmark for the primary phase in Bath and North East Somerset. Of the 63 primary schools in the local authority, only seven are rated Outstanding, so a Good rating places St Saviours in a solid position.
The school offers a range of facilities including a library, art studios, a dining hall, a chapel, and a Forest School, which will appeal to families who value outdoor learning. Sports provision covers netball, rounders, dance, cricket, tennis, athletics, and football, and there are clubs such as Film Club, Book Club, and Eco Club. For children with additional needs, the school has SEND provisions focused on social, emotional and mental health, and speech, language and communication. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Swainswick Church School, 1.7 km away, which may be an alternative for families who prioritise that top grade. St Saviours is a good fit for families in Bath and North East Somerset who want a Church of England infant school with a strong recent Ofsted record, manageable oversubscription, and a clear focus on early years development.
