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

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants, and in 2026 the last place went under “Category E, initial allocation 16 April 2026 (offer day)”. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

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

About St Julian's Church School

St Julian's Church School is a primary school in Bath and North East Somerset, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 112 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 10.0 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 top 43% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Competition for places is real here - 89% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (18 first choices for 16 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 2.08 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 21.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. St Julian's Church 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.
