Check the area around this school
152nd 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 3,978 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.2/10 among them, against 0.8/10 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) 2023/24 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Easton Royal Academy
Overview
Easton Royal Academy continues to be a good school, offering a “nurturing environment with a family atmosphere” where pupils enjoy learning. The inspection confirms that leaders have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and that teachers are well supported, though some aspects of the curriculum require refinement.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well designed,” with content ordered to support pupils in mixed-age classes effectively, allowing them to revisit key concepts for deeper understanding.
- Leaders place a “high priority on reading,” ensuring a consistent approach to phonics and providing targeted support for pupils who struggle with common exception words.
- Pupils behave well and feel safe, helped by the ‘high five’ approach which enables them to resolve disagreements; they report that “there is no bullying.”
- Staff are “quick to identify what support pupils might need,” ensuring that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported through adapted teaching.
- Parents are “very positive about the school,” finding staff approachable and caring, and feeling fully involved in their children’s learning.
Areas to improve
- Staff must ensure pupils have sufficient opportunities to apply their writing knowledge consistently across the curriculum, as written work is not always of high quality in some foundation subjects.
- Leaders should ensure the curriculum enables pupils to write with accuracy, addressing the issue that misspellings are not corrected consistently well and therefore persist.
- Leaders’ work to provide more opportunities for teachers to lead their areas of responsibility is currently at an “earlier stage.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, characterised by a “strong safeguarding culture” where leaders are persistent and proactive, and record-keeping is thorough and detailed.
