About Ashton Keynes Church of England Primary School
Ashton Keynes Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more interesting story. Inspectors rated both personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding, the highest possible grade, while leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision were all judged Good. On the academic front, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 are genuinely impressive. 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, a figure that puts the school well ahead of the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. In reading, every single pupil reached the expected standard, and 59% achieved a higher standard. In maths, 97% hit the expected mark, with 31% reaching the higher threshold. These outcomes place Ashton Keynes 4th out of 159 primary schools in Wiltshire, and 153rd nationally out of 13,686 schools, comfortably in the top 1% of primaries across the country.
