Check the area around this school
50th 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 — 6.4/10 against 3,846 of them, against 6.2/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Bratton Primary School
Overview
Bratton Primary School is a good school where pupils are happy and safe, and they feel listened to. The school supports pupils to 'learn, have fun and thrive' and is ambitious for what they should achieve. Pupils rise to meet these expectations and most behave well and have positive attitudes to learning.
Strengths
- Pupils are happy and safe, and they feel listened to.
- The school supports pupils to 'learn, have fun and thrive'.

Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is in its infancy, and pupils do not develop sufficient depth in their knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that new subject curriculums are implemented and assessed effectively so that pupils build knowledge and skills cumulatively in every subject.
