About Walliscote Primary School

Walliscote Primary School in North Somerset holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in March 2022. The school’s exam results tell a more nuanced story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 36% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is significantly below the local authority average of 61%. This places Walliscote 53rd out of 57 primary schools in North Somerset, putting it in the bottom tier of the area. The school’s ranking score of 36 reflects this challenge, though individual subjects show variation: 81% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, compared with 57% in maths and 52% in reading. Only 12% achieved a higher standard in reading, and no pupils reached the higher threshold in writing or maths.
