Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Welton Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

Welton Primary School at a glance

Located in Radstock, Bath and North East Somerset, Welton Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 171 pupils aged 2 to 11. 52% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 5.0 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 102 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% 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 Welton Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 15 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.4%. There are about 22.9 pupils per teacher. Welton 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. 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.
