Check the area around this school
7th 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 — 9.3/10 against 4,318 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 3.99 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Stanton St Quintin Primary and Nursery School
Overview
Stanton St Quintin Primary and Nursery School continues to be a good school, providing a nurturing environment where pupils are “safe and happy.” The report highlights a “vibrant and harmonious” atmosphere supported by strong routines and positive relationships, allowing pupils to thrive both academically and socially.
Strengths
- Pupils are “nurtured by staff who know them and their families well,” resulting in rapid support for any difficulties.
- The curriculum is “ambitious for all pupils,” with staff possessing the subject knowledge to explain new learning clearly.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; children begin learning letter sounds early and receive “prompt help” if they fall behind.
- Personal development is “woven throughout the curriculum,” helping pupils understand diverse backgrounds and manage their feelings.
- Leaders ensure staff workload remains “manageable” while providing support for professional improvement.
Areas to improve
- Teaching activities do not always ensure pupils revisit previous learning, meaning they do not always “remember what they have been taught before” to build upon it.
- The school needs to ensure pupils “consistently know and remember more of the curriculum” through better recall strategies.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
