Sutton Veny, BA12 7AP · Wiltshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.8/10 Broadly average

81st 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 1,651 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 4.5/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 65.0 · 52 40% 2.07
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 4.0 · 35 25% 0.88

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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3 out of 10 among them, against 4.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in netball, tag rugby, tri-golf, hockey, football, tennis, handball, and swimming, alongside Arts Week. Trips include a dance festival in Bath and an orienteering festival in Southleigh Woods. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 168 pupils in a capacity of 180, leaving 12 spare places. 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? What provisions exist for children who need care after the school day ends? How does the curriculum adapt to the specific needs of the current cohort?
