About Worle Village Primary School

Worle Village Primary School is a smaller-than-average state primary in North Somerset, currently teaching 172 pupils against a capacity of 210. That leaves around a fifth of its places empty, yet the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 40 applications for just 15 places, with an oversubscription ratio of 2. 67. All 15 first-preference families were offered a spot, but the numbers suggest that many others will have missed out. The school serves a relatively disadvantaged community — 26. 2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23% and significantly higher than the typical North Somerset primary. This context matters when reading its academic results, as schools with higher FSM rates often face additional challenges. The headteacher, Susan Elliott, leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school for ages 5 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
