About Carterton Primary School

Carterton Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, which took place in October 2022. This was a consistent outcome across all five assessed categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school’s previous inspection in March 2019 had also resulted in a Requires Improvement overall rating, with leadership and management rated Requires Improvement and early years provision graded as Requires Improvement at that time. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which stands at 61. While Carterton’s own KS2 results are not provided in the available data, this LA average offers a benchmark against which the school’s performance can be measured. The school serves 216 pupils against a capacity of 315, and 21.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that may influence the school’s context and the challenges it faces.
