About Oare Church of England Primary School

Oare Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection, carried out in February 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s most telling academic metric comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year. While 100% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, performance in reading and maths was lower, with 55% reaching the expected standard in each. The combined measure of reading, writing and maths at the expected standard was 36%, which places the school well below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. This figure also ranks Oare 146th out of 159 primary schools in the county, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s small size — just 36 pupils on roll — means these percentages can shift significantly from year to year, but the data suggests that academic outcomes in core subjects are an area of focus.
