St Augustine's Catholic College
Trowbridge, BA14 9EN · Wiltshire · secondary school
8th of 26 secondary schools in Wiltshire we can score, 28 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 771 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 51.6 · 68 | 30% | 2.04 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.33 · 74 | 25% | 1.86 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.4 · 76 | 10% | 0.76 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the MUN Club, Drama Clubs, Tech Club, and Dance Club. Sports include Netball, Swimming, Football, and Sailing. Arts provision covers Instrumental Tuition, LAMDA Drama, and Dance. Trips go to New York, Barcelona, Paris, the West End, Cadbury’s World, and the International MUN conference.
Getting in. The school has 950 pupils in a capacity of 1042 places, leaving 92 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for Year 7 students joining the Drama Club? How does the school manage the transition for new students given the current pupil numbers?
