About Durrington Church of England Controlled Junior School

Ofsted’s most recent ungraded inspection in November 2023 confirmed that Durrington Church of England Controlled Junior School remains a Good school, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2010 when it was rated Requires Improvement. ParentView data is not available in this dataset, but the school’s oversubscription ratio offers a practical signal of local demand: with 184 pupils on roll against a capacity of 234, the school is operating at around 79% capacity, suggesting there is still room for new families. The school is a state-funded, Church of England junior school for children aged 7 to 11, located in Wiltshire. Headteacher Karl Caslin leads a mixed-gender school where 17.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits slightly above the national average for primary schools. The school’s religious character may appeal to families seeking a values-based education within a maintained setting.
