About St Stephen's Church of England Junior School, Soundwell

St Stephen's Church of England Junior School in Soundwell sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 61, but the school's own most recent data is not provided in this profile, so a direct comparison isn't possible here. What is clear from the local context is that South Gloucestershire has only five outstanding primary schools out of 93 total, making a Good rating a solid achievement. The school's Ofsted inspection in October 2023 rated it Good across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2015, but the current judgement still places it above the majority of local primaries, given that only about 5% of schools in the authority hold the top grade. The nearest outstanding alternative, Beacon Rise Primary School, is 1.8 kilometres away, so for families in Soundwell, St Stephen's represents a strong local option without needing to travel far.
