About Westover Green Community School and Autism Centre

Westover Green Community School and Autism Centre holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The 2022 inspection awarded Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision was also rated Good. When it comes to the most telling academic metric for a primary school, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 53% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Somerset local authority average of 59%, placing the school 84th out of 134 primary schools in the county. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom half of schools on this measure, at the 73rd percentile. The school's overall ranking score of 53 reflects this, though it is worth noting that the school serves a community where 46.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
