Somerset Studio School at a glance
Located in Radstock, Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset Studio School is a secondary school, classified by the DfE as a studio school. The school educates roughly 138 pupils aged 14 to 19. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 30.5 — well below the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 9.9 points compared with 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 secondary schools nationally.
12% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. 31% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. After Year 11, 86% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 17.1%. There are about 12.7 pupils per teacher. Somerset Studio 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
