In Bristol, 56% of students met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths and 6% achieved higher than standard, and in England these figures were 61% and 8%.
The maximum score a student can achieve is 120 for SAT assessments in reading and mathematics.
On average, students across Bristol and England achieve a score of 105 in reading and 104 in mathematics.
Using this data, we have ranked the top 14 primary schools in the city and also included their latest Ofsted rating.
The education watchdog inspects schools regularly and assigns them one of four different ratings: ‘Outstanding’ is the top rating, followed by ‘Good’, ‘Requires Improvement’ and ‘Inadequate’ across five categories.
The five key categories are quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provisions.
Since September, Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgement in inspections.
Here are Bristol’s top 14 best primary schools based on latest progress scores and Ofsted ratings.
Only schools with overall ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ ratings have been included in the ranking.
