Twerton Infant School

About Twerton Infant School

Twerton Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In the most recent graded inspection, carried out in March 2023, the school received a Good mark in every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision, which is particularly relevant given the school’s 2–7 age range, was also rated Good. This represents a slight shift from the previous inspection in 2018, where early years provision was judged Outstanding while the rest of the school was Good. The consistency of the Good rating suggests a stable and reliable setting, though the data does not include any exam results such as KS2 SATs, as the school’s pupils leave before reaching that stage. For parents focused on early years and infant education, the Ofsted record offers a clear, positive picture.

Because Twerton Infant School only covers Reception through Year 2, there are no published Key Stage 2 SATs results to compare against the local authority average of 62. The school’s academic story is therefore told through its Ofsted inspection rather than exam data. The 2023 inspection report highlighted good behaviour and attitudes, and a quality of education that meets the expected standard. The school serves a notably high-needs population: 52.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than three times the national average for primary schools. This context makes the consistent Good rating particularly significant, as it suggests the school is effectively supporting its pupils despite higher-than-average levels of disadvantage. The school has a capacity of 180 and currently enrols 150 pupils, so there is some spare capacity, though the school was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry with 39 applications for 34 places.

Twerton Infant School offers a broad range of facilities for such a small school, including a sports hall, playing fields, a forest school, a sensory room, art studios, music rooms, and even a chapel. Sports provision includes netball, swimming, rounders, tennis, dance, and cross country, while clubs range from gardening and eco club to drama and book club. The school has a nursery provision, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from age two through to Year 2. Its SEND provisions are well-documented, covering social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. For families in Bath and North East Somerset seeking an infant school with strong pastoral support and a wide array of enrichment activities, Twerton Infant School is a solid, well-regarded option that balances academic expectations with a clear focus on early childhood development.
