About Pewsey Primary School

Pewsey Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 69%. This is notably above the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, placing the school in the top 50% of primary schools nationally and 39th out of 159 in the county. In individual subjects, reading and maths average scores are 107 and 105 respectively, both above the national benchmark of 100. The school also achieves strong results at the higher standard: 44% of pupils reach the higher level in reading, 25% in writing and 16% in maths. This performance is particularly impressive given that 20. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that suggests the school is effectively supporting a diverse intake.
