Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Church of England
2.2/10 Below average

162nd of 181 primary schools in Wiltshire we can score, 201 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.5/10 against 3,085 of them, against 2.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in January 2026. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 202 pupils in a capacity of 450, leaving 248 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. What specific actions are being taken to address the Inadequate rating from the recent inspection? How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What is the plan for improving attainment in the coming year?
