primary schools for future entry to Kingswood

Hi there, we're moving to Bath next summer when our kids will go into years 6, 4 and 2.
We're looking at them going to Kingswood Senior School in Y7, does anyone know which primary schools have kids who end up going there, given that they have to take an entrance exam in the January of Y6?
Especially in the north of the city as once the eldest is there we don't want to be travelling across Bath every day...
Thanks!

I know of kids from a wide range of primaries who have gone on to/are going on to Kingswood - St Stephen's, Swainswick, Bathampton, Bathwick, Widcombe, Newbridge, Bathford. Most of the primaries in Bath are pretty good and the children do well, so entrance exam probably doable from any of them. Nearest is obviously St Stephen's, but v oversubscribed so not sure how easy it would be for you to get your DC in there?

A friend of mine is a teacher at Kingswood and tells me that the majority (not sure what this means in the context, as no idea how large the intake is) of the intake comes direct from the prep, with another cohort coming in from outside Bath (e.g. Chippenham, Bradford-on-Avon, villages etc.) - there's no obvious 'feeder' primary school (other than the prep).
