Tortworth Primary School

About Tortworth Primary School

Tortworth Primary School, a small state primary in South Gloucestershire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its last two inspections. However, the school’s most recent exam results tell a more challenging story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 10% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This figure is dramatically lower than the local authority average of 61%, placing Tortworth at the very bottom of the 69 primary schools in South Gloucestershire and in the bottom 1% nationally. The picture is mixed by subject: half of pupils reached the expected level in reading, but only 20% did so in maths and just 10% in writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. These outcomes suggest that while the school is well-regarded by inspectors, its academic performance in core subjects is an area of significant concern for parents weighing up options.
