Mere School
Warminster, BA12 6EW · Wiltshire · primary school
30th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.0/10 against 3,596 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join recorder clubs and choir, attend instrumental lessons, musical stage shows, music weeks, and a musical entertainment evening, plus trips to London shows. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 239 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving just 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without prior musical training? What are the specific steps for securing a place when only 1 remains? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
