According to data from the governmentIlminster Avenue E-Act Primary Academy<\/p>\n

Bristol’s best and worst primary schools<\/a> for average reading scores have been revealed.<\/p>\n

Data from the UK government shows that, out of 137 schools, about a third have an average reading score that is above the England average.<\/p>\n

In May, we shared the data for Bristol’s secondary schools<\/a>, with the Government data showing the city currently has five secondary schools being rated as “well above average” for its Progress 8 scores.<\/p>\n

We then looked at the data for Bristol’s primary schools<\/a> and, across the city, 56 per cent of pupils met the expected standard at Key Stage 2 in 2024. This meant they achieved a scaled score of 100 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assessed them as ‘working at the expected standard’ or better in writing.<\/p>\n

The average reading score across England is 105. Here are the best and worst primary schools in the city by average reading scores:<\/p>\n
