About Netheravon All Saints CofE Primary School

Netheravon All Saints CofE Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 31 applications for just 15 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for those who prioritise the school, it works out, but competition is real. The school is a Church of England primary in Wiltshire, led by headteacher Rachael Banham, and currently has 134 pupils on roll against a capacity of 209. That leaves some physical room to grow, though the oversubscription data shows demand is already outstripping supply. With a mixed intake from ages 5 to 11, it’s a small, faith-based setting that clearly appeals to local parents.

Academically, the school holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023, with all inspected areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Good. At Key Stage 2, 47% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 79% met the expected standard in both reading and maths, with average scores of 105 and 104 respectively. The school’s ranking in Wiltshire places it at 121 out of 159 primary schools on the combined expected standard metric, putting it in the bottom half nationally. That said, 32% of pupils achieved a higher standard in maths, and 26% did so in reading, showing some strong individual performance.

The school offers a solid range of facilities for its size, including a sports hall, gymnasium, ICT suite, art studios, a sensory room, and a forest school area, plus a chapel reflecting its Church of England character. Sports provision covers gymnastics, athletics, rounders, cricket, tennis, football and netball, and there are clubs for choir, gardening, drama and coding. SEND support is in place for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate and severe learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. With 11.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is slightly below the national average for disadvantage. This is a school that suits families who value a small, faith-based primary with good facilities and are comfortable with a local authority rank that sits below the county average on headline attainment.
