About Chirton Church of England Primary School

Chirton 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 interesting story. The school was rated Outstanding for personal development, a standout category that reflects how well it supports pupils’ character and resilience. On the core academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 83% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, and it places the school 14th out of 159 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school also ranks 84th in the South West region out of 1,469 primaries. For a small village school with just 105 pupils, these outcomes are notably strong.
