About Meare Village Primary School

Meare Village Primary School is a primary school in Glastonbury, Somerset, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 99 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 77% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 34.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Meare Village Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 18 Reception places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.89 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.4%. There are about 18.3 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
