Check the area around this school
25th 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 — 7.8/10 against 4,205 of them, against 7.9/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
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 Whiteparish All Saints Church of England Primary School
Overview
Whiteparish All Saints is described as a ‘warm and welcoming school’ where pupils are happy and staff relationships are ‘very positive’. The report states that the school has ‘responded well’ to previous inspection requirements, with an ‘ambitious’ curriculum that fosters curiosity and strong reading skills.
Strengths
- Reading is ‘at the heart of the curriculum’, with a ‘well organised’ approach to phonics that ensures pupils read with fluency and develop a ‘passion for reading’.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are ‘well supported’, with needs identified quickly so they can learn alongside peers and ‘participate in all aspects of school life’.
- Pupils demonstrate strong personal development, understanding how to stay safe and treating others with respect, noting that ‘everyone is respected, treated the same and we celebrate difference’.
- Staff morale is high, with the school ‘thoughtfully managing’ workload and well-being, while governors provide ‘meaningful support and challenge’.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the ‘important knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember has not yet been precisely identified’, meaning pupils do not build knowledge well enough over time.
- Learning is ‘not always adapted effectively’ in light of what pupils already know, preventing them from building on prior knowledge as well as they could.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
