Easton Royal Academy

About Easton Royal Academy

Easton Royal Academy is a small primary school in Wiltshire that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 14 applications for just 5 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.8, meaning nearly three families applied for every spot. All 5 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, those who put it first are likely to get in. The school is led by headteacher Beck Stubbs and currently has 53 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 63, so there is some room to grow. ParentView data is not available in this dataset, but the oversubscription figures alone indicate a school that local parents are actively seeking out, particularly given its small size and rural setting in the South West.

Academically, Easton Royal presents a mixed picture. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 38% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is well below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. The school ranks 141st out of 201 primary schools in the county, placing it in the bottom half locally. However, the breakdown shows some real strengths: 88% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and the average reading score was 108, which is above the national average of 100. In maths, 38% reached the expected standard with an average score of 98, while 75% achieved the expected standard in writing. No pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, though 38% did so in reading alone. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding, and the school has held a Good rating since its previous graded inspection in 2013.

The school offers a solid range of facilities for its size, including a library, sports hall, gymnasium, music rooms, ICT suite, sensory room and even a chapel. Sports on offer include football, netball, cricket, swimming and cross country, while clubs such as Eco Club, coding, choir, gardening and film club provide enrichment beyond the curriculum. The school has identified SEND provisions for moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder, which suggests it is equipped to support a range of additional needs. With just 5.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively less deprived intake. This is a school that will suit families who value a small, community-focused setting with strong leadership and a good reading record, and who are comfortable with the mixed academic outcomes in maths and writing.
