Watermore Primary School

About Watermore Primary School

Watermore Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to 61% across South Gloucestershire. That six-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent classroom performance, and it places the school 22nd out of 69 primary schools in the area — roughly in the top third. The school also ranks in the top 50% nationally, which for a state primary of 412 pupils is a respectable showing. What stands out is that Watermore achieves this without being selective or heavily skewed towards higher-attaining pupils; the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 20.9%, slightly above the national average, so the results aren't being driven by a particularly advantaged intake. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2024, rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That’s a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2012, but the current judgement reflects a school that is still performing well above the LA baseline.
