Bratton Primary School

Westbury, BA13 4RL · Wiltshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.8/10 Broadly average

47th 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 3,892 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 65.0 · 52 40% 2.07
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Sports Leaders and lunch-time clubs, play cricket, martial arts, and swimming, and attend music events at Matravers and the Lions Concert. Trips include visits to the British Museum, London, and Paultons Park. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 129 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 81 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. How does the school support pupils during the lunch break without a dedicated lunch-time supervision club? What specific support is available for children who need help reaching the higher standard in maths? How do you manage the transition for new families given the significant number of available places?
