About Dilton Marsh CofE Primary School

Dilton Marsh CofE Primary School is a smaller-than-average state primary in Wiltshire, with 161 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. That leaves a fair amount of physical space, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 41 applications for just 26 places, with all 25 first-preference offers taken up. The oversubscription ratio of 1.58 tells you this is a school local families actively want. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11.8%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and suggests a relatively affluent intake. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data doesn't specify any particular admissions criteria beyond that. The headteacher is Jude Clements, who took over leadership at some point before the most recent inspection.
