St Barnabas Church of England School, Market Lavington
Devizes, SN10 4NT · Wiltshire · primary school
33rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.6/10 against 4,127 of them, against 7.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Coding, Construction, Hockey, Tennis, ennis, Gymnastics, Alternative Sports, and Dauntsey's Dance clubs. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 130 pupils in a capacity of 140, leaving 10 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with homework after the day ends? What specific support is available for the 6.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils without an after-school club?
