Mixed Primary Christian
2.5/10 Below average

149th 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 3,562 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 2.5/10 nationally. 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 52.0 · 22 62% 1.36
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 3.0 · 29 38% 1.13

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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Eco Warriors club and play hockey, football, cricket, and swimming. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 185 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 25 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its current pupil numbers given the available capacity?
