About Nursteed Community Primary School

Nursteed Community Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since at least its previous inspection in 2011. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment: just 52% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, placing the school 102nd out of 201 primary schools in the county. While the school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged to require improvement, inspectors did note that early years provision remains Good. The school’s ranking score of 52 places it in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 74th percentile.
