Shoscombe Church School at a glance

Located in Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, Shoscombe Church School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 117 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 89% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 1.0 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 31% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Shoscombe 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 further down the page.
