About Dinton CofE Primary School

Dinton CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Wiltshire local authority, serving just 68 pupils from ages 4 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape of 201 primary schools across the county, where only six hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. While Dinton itself is rated Good, its local peers include Stanton St Quintin Primary and Nursery School, The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy, and Sutton Veny CofE School, all of which rank higher on the local performance index. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 14 applications for 10 places, with nine of those coming as first preferences. This suggests a solid local reputation, particularly among families who value a small, faith-based setting. The headteacher, Andrew Howard, leads a school that operates well within its capacity of 119, meaning there is room to grow, but current demand already exceeds supply.
