Box Church of England Primary School

Corsham, SN13 8NF · Wiltshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.8/10 Above average

28th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 1,032 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 7.7/10 nationally. 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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 7.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir, Cluster Sports, and Music Lessons, play football, multisport, and running, and visit Braeside and Jamie's Farm. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 146 pupils in a building with 175 places, leaving 29 spare spots. 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. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to raise attainment in the subjects where the school trails its similar-intake peers? How do the current class sizes affect individual attention during lessons?
