Brinkworth Earl Danby's Church of England Primary
Chippenham, SN15 5AX · Wiltshire · primary school
55th 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 3,869 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 6.0/10 nationally. 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6 out of 10 among them, against 6.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils play dodgeball and football, and learn guitar, violin, piano, keyboard, woodwind instruments, singing, drums, and ukulele. Trips include visits to Braeside and Avebury. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 136 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 74 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 who need extra help with reading, given the lower-than-national performance in similar-intake schools? What are the options for supervised care before or after school hours, since neither a breakfast nor an after-school club is provided? How do the music and sports clubs operate in terms of cost and availability for all pupils?
