Kennet Valley Church of England Aided Primary School
About Kennet Valley Church of England Aided Primary School
Kennet Valley Church of England Aided Primary School sits in a quiet corner of Wiltshire, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a clear story: this is a school where the basics are taught well, but stretching pupils to the highest levels is a work in progress. In the 2023/24 academic year, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is a solid nine percentage points above the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. That places the school 52nd out of 201 primary schools in the county, comfortably in the top half. However, only 8% of pupils achieved the higher standard in those same subjects, a figure that suggests the school is more focused on securing core competence than on pushing a significant number of children into the top tier. The average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at exactly 100, the national benchmark, which reinforces the sense of a school that reliably meets expectations without dramatically exceeding them.
