About Bruton Primary School

Bruton Primary School is a primary school in Bruton, Somerset, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 256 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 71% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 11.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 15% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Bruton Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 39 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.3%. There are about 20.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Bruton Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
