About Oakhill Church School

Oakhill Church School is a primary school in Radstock, Somerset, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 128 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted (February 2026). In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 53% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 9.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Oakhill Church School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 9 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 8.5%. There are about 18.8 pupils per teacher.
