Check the area around this school
142nd 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 — 1.5/10 against 1,171 of them, against 1.4/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 41% | 0.66 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.27 |
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 The Corsham Regis Primary Academy
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils "enjoy their time" and behave well, guided by a "clear and determined vision" from leaders. It highlights a "good" quality of education with a curriculum that builds sequentially, though it notes inconsistencies in how teaching builds on prior knowledge in some subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are "confident and successful learners" who show "pride in their work" and good manners.
- Leaders have designed an "effective curriculum" that is broad and builds "sequentially over time".
- Reading is promoted strongly, with pupils learning phonics early and becoming "confident readers".
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are assessed accurately and "learn the curriculum well".
- Staff care for pupils, and there is a "strong culture of safeguarding" with thorough pre-employment checks.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in some subjects is not used consistently to identify misconceptions, which "slows pupils’ learning down".
- New teaching approaches in some subjects are not yet fully embedded, meaning some pupils do not gain all the knowledge they could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff knowing how to recognise signs of abuse and working effectively with other agencies to minimise risk.
