Willowbrook Primary School

Trowbridge, BA14 7HE · Wiltshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2026 Inspected this year Mixed Primary
3.2/10 Below average

124th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.7/10 against 1,002 of them, against 2.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 38.0 · 7 40% 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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 95 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 115 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 support pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy? What does a typical day look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school engage parents in supporting their child’s progress at home?
