About Bibury Church of England Primary School
Bibury Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. Inspectors rated behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, as Outstanding — the highest possible grade — while quality of education and leadership and management were both judged Good. The school’s most telling academic metric, however, is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 33% of pupils achieved this benchmark, compared with a local authority average of 59% for similar schools. This places Bibury in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure, ranking 37th out of 38 primary schools in the Cotswold local authority area.
