About Christ Church Hanham CofE Primary School

Christ Church Hanham CofE Primary School is a primary school in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 253 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 61% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 2.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 97% of the families who made Christ Church Hanham CofE Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 19.9 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
