St Michael's CofE Aided Primary
Marlborough, SN8 2BP · Wiltshire · primary school
4th 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 — 8.2/10 against 4,352 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| 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, 85.0% 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 Outstanding in January 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 (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Swindon Town Football Club and participate in Diamond Cricket, Steeplechase, Flat Races, and The Big Wheel. Trips include visits to Plas Pencelli, Braeside Education Centre, Ramsbury Estate, the Ashmolean Museum, an Abandoned Village, and the Coast. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 194 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 16 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Diamond Cricket sessions? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
