About Westbury-on-Severn Church of England Primary School

Westbury-on-Severn Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the local authority average for similar schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 42% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Gloucestershire average of 59%. That 17-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the Forest of Dean, where it ranks 31st out of 39. Nationally, it sits in the 89th percentile, meaning roughly nine in ten schools outperform it on this measure. The school’s ranking score of 42 out of 100 reflects this, and it is categorised in the bottom 50 tier. For context, the top-performing schools in the same local authority, such as Meysey Hampton and Temple Guiting, both score 100. So while Westbury-on-Severn is not among the academic frontrunners, its small size — just 52 pupils — means individual results can swing the percentages significantly.
