Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
5.9/10 Broadly average

46th 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 4,067 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.5/10 among them, against 4.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.5 out of 10 among them, against 4.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming and visit the Winchester Space Museum and Devizes Museum. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 236 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 26. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 26 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the 54.0% expected standard and the 64% national median? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum for those who attend?
