About Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School
Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 53% for the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, and it ranks 99th out of 159 primary schools in the county. Breaking the results down, reading is the strongest area, with 73% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average score of 104. Maths follows at 60% expected, with an average score of 101, while writing is at 60% expected. The school has no pupils reaching the higher standard in writing, and only 13% do so in maths and 20% in reading.
Ofsted inspectors rated all five key areas as Good, including quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in April 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with 92% of respondents saying they would recommend the school. Every parent who answered agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, with 75% strongly agreeing on safety. Communication is a particular strength: 92% strongly agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. However, a small minority of parents expressed concerns about behaviour management, with 8% disagreeing that the school ensures good behaviour, and 13% disagreeing that bullying is dealt with quickly.
The school is oversubscribed, with 45 applications for 18 places in the 2025/26 intake, and 13 of the 15 first-preference families offered a place. Facilities include an ICT suite, art studios, a sensory room, a sports hall, playing fields and a chapel. The school offers a range of clubs including choir, chess, eco club and book club, and sports such as netball, tennis, swimming and cross country. SEND provision covers specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, and hearing impairment. With a small roll of 92 pupils and a Church of England character, this school will suit families who value a close-knit, community-focused primary with strong parent-school communication and a clear improvement trajectory from its previous inspection.
