Wansdyke Primary School
About Wansdyke Primary School
Wansdyke Primary School, a state primary in Bristol, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in January 2023, a rating it has maintained consistently across both its inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined: 63% of pupils met the expected standard in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits five percentage points above the Bristol local authority average of 58%, placing Wansdyke 32nd out of 85 primary schools in the area. While the school sits in the bottom half of the national rankings for this measure, its local position is solidly mid-table, and the gap to the top-performing schools in the city is notable — the highest-ranked local peer, Summerhill Academy, achieved a score of 94. Wansdyke’s results suggest a school that delivers reliably above the local norm without being among the highest-flying options in Bristol.
