Weston All Saints CofE Primary School

About Weston All Saints CofE Primary School

If you are a parent considering Weston All Saints CofE Primary School, the first thing to note is that it is a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 87 applications for just 35 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.49. Of those 87 applicants, 31 put the school as their first preference, and all 31 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage to back that up directly. The school is a Church of England primary in Bath and North East Somerset, currently led by headteacher Matthew Norcott. It has a capacity of 630 pupils but currently enrols 464, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 17.7%, which is worth noting for context on the school's intake.

Academically, Weston All Saints holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with all inspected categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all graded Good. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2010, but the school has maintained a solid standard. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is slightly below the local authority average of 62%. The school's ranking within Bath and North East Somerset places it 34th out of 52 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half locally. On individual subjects, 76% met the expected standard in reading, 69% in maths, and 63% in writing. A small proportion, just 2%, achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.

On the practical side, the school offers a decent range of facilities including a sports hall, music rooms, an ICT suite, art studios and a chapel. Sports on offer include gymnastics, dance, cross country, football and cricket, and there are clubs for coding, drama and art. The school has a broad SEND provision, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health support, plus a resourced provision. This makes it a potentially good fit for families whose children need additional support. The school is oversubscribed, so if you are considering it, be prepared to apply early and make it your first preference. It is a state primary with no nursery or sixth form, and it is not a boarding school. For families who prioritise a Church of England ethos and a school that is well-regarded locally, this could be a strong contender.
