About Yeo Moor Primary School

Yeo Moor Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the North Somerset average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Yeo Moor achieved 76% in the 2023/24 academic year. That puts the school in the top 25% nationally and 9th out of 57 primary schools in North Somerset. The gap is particularly noticeable in reading, where 91% of pupils met the expected standard and 37% reached the higher standard, compared with maths where 85% met the expected mark and 30% hit the higher threshold. Writing is the weakest of the three core subjects, with 83% at expected and just 9% at the higher level. The school’s average scaled scores — 108 in reading and 105 in maths — also suggest solid, above-average attainment. For parents weighing up options in the area, these figures make Yeo Moor a strong performer relative to its local peers.

Ofsted inspectors visited in June 2023 and rated the school Good across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a consistent improvement from the previous inspection in 2017, where early years provision was rated Outstanding but leadership and management were only Good. The school has held a Good rating overall across both inspections, with no outstanding or inadequate grades in the most recent report. With 424 pupils on roll against a capacity of 470, the school is not yet full, but it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 93 applications for 52 places, with 54 first-preference applications and all 52 first-preference offers accepted. That oversubscription ratio of 1.79 suggests genuine local demand. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, which may appeal to families looking for continuity through to Year 6.

Yeo Moor’s facilities include a library, sensory room, art studios, gymnasium, playing fields and a chapel, alongside an outdoor playground and dining hall. Sports on offer include gymnastics, netball, dance, cricket and swimming, and clubs range from eco club and choir to science, film, book and drama clubs. The school’s SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, speech, language and communication needs, autistic spectrum disorder, social, emotional and mental health needs, and other difficulties or disabilities. For families who want a non-denominational state primary with strong academic outcomes and a broad extracurricular offer, Yeo Moor is a solid choice. It is not the highest-ranked school in North Somerset — the top three are all Church of England primaries — but it sits comfortably in the top 10, and the nearest Outstanding-rated school, Chestnut Park Primary, is 3.8 km away, so for many families Yeo Moor may be the most practical high-performing option nearby.
