Stanton Drew Primary School
About Stanton Drew Primary School
Stanton Drew Primary School, a small state primary in Bath and North East Somerset, was judged Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with all four graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — each receiving a Good rating. This represents a change from its previous inspection in 2012, when the school was rated Outstanding overall. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the local authority average of 62%, placing Stanton Drew 32nd out of 52 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset. Nationally, the school ranks in the 57th percentile among all primaries, putting it squarely in the middle of the pack. With only 57 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, this is a genuinely small school where class sizes are likely to be very manageable.
