About Pembroke Park Primary School

Pembroke Park Primary School in Wiltshire serves a notably different demographic from the average primary in its local authority, and its headline metrics reflect that. The school's proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35.6%, well above the national average, and its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 43% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is 15 percentage points below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, placing the school in the bottom half of primaries in the county. In the LA rankings, it sits at 126th out of 159 schools, and nationally it falls in the 87th percentile among all state primaries. These figures are not surprising given the level of disadvantage the school serves, but they do mean parents comparing raw outcomes against the LA average will see a significant gap.
