About Broad Hinton Church of England Primary School

Broad Hinton Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Wiltshire, with just 66 pupils on roll against a capacity of 119. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it sits 33rd out of 159 schools, placing it comfortably in the top 50. The three highest-ranked peers in the area are Stanton St Quintin Primary and Nursery School, The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy, and Sutton Veny CofE School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with six first-preference applications for six places and ten total applications, giving a ratio of 1.67 applicants per place. Headteacher Elizabeth Floyd leads a Church of England school that has held a Good Ofsted rating across both its most recent inspections, the latest in November 2022. All five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — were rated Good.

Academically, Broad Hinton performs well above the Wiltshire average at Key Stage 2. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 71%, compared with the local authority average of 58%. In maths, every single pupil met the expected standard, and 29% reached the higher standard. Reading scores are strong too, with 93% at expected and 43% at the higher level, while the average scaled score is 109. Writing is the weakest area, with 71% at expected and 21% at higher. The school’s ranking score of 71 is based on the combined expected standard metric, placing it in the top 21% of Wiltshire primaries and the top 29% nationally. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school does not have a sixth form or nursery provision, and its age range is 4 to 11.

Facilities include a library, ICT suite, sports hall, playing fields, music rooms, art studios, a chapel and a sensory room. Sports offered are gymnastics, swimming, cricket and athletics, and clubs include book club, gardening, art club and eco club. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. With only 7.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is less disadvantaged than many local schools. Broad Hinton is a good fit for families who want a small, oversubscribed village primary with strong core academic results, a Church of England character, and a broad range of facilities and clubs despite its size. Its location in Wiltshire means it competes with several higher-ranked local primaries, but its consistent Good Ofsted record and above-average KS2 outcomes make it a solid choice.
