Wyvern St Edmund's Academy
Salisbury, SP1 1RE · Wiltshire · secondary school
20th of 26 secondary schools in Wiltshire we can score, 28 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 923 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 3.4/10 nationally. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 40.3 · 41 | 46% | 1.89 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.3 · 27 | 38% | 1.05 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.2 · 31 | 15% | 0.48 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. The school has 1335 pupils in a capacity of 1400, leaving 65 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students aiming to raise their Attainment 8? How accessible is the after-school club for pupils with late finishes?
