St Osmund's Catholic Primary School, Salisbury
Salisbury, SP1 2SG · Wiltshire · primary school
19th 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 the 3,590 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3/10 among them, against 8.8/10 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 | 27.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
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%. A further 27.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3 out of 10 among them, against 8.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Change 4 Life and Positive Play clubs, alongside sports such as tri-golf, football, tag rugby, boccia, athletics, mini-marathon cross-country running, and swimming. The school does not offer a breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. There are 209 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 1 spare place. 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 need care before or after the school day, given there is no breakfast or after-school club? With only 1 place available, what is the process for securing a spot if a place opens up? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population that is nearly at full capacity?
