St George's Church of England School, Bourton
Gillingham, SP8 5BN · Dorset · primary school
68th of 79 primary schools in Dorset we can score, 119 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 0.6/10 among them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 participate in sports including dodgeball, basketball, rugby, football, netball, hockey, and parachute games, alongside arts and crafts. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 119 pupils in a school with 119 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school at full capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applicants if a place becomes available? How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club for older primary pupils?
