Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
1.3/10 Well below average

167th 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 — 1.9/10 against 1,571 of them, against 1.9/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 35.0 · 5 40% 0.20
Ofsted 3 35% 0.11
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 5.0 · 40 25% 1.00

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.9 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024.

Getting in. The school has 226 pupils in a building with 360 places, leaving 134 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to improve the 35.0% attainment rate following the 2024 inspection? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teaching time?
