About Queen's Crescent School

Queen's Crescent School, a state primary in Wiltshire for children aged 4 to 11, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with every category — from quality of education to behaviour and leadership — judged Good. The school's strongest academic story lies in its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year. A solid 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, comfortably above the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. This places the school 43rd out of 159 primaries in the county, putting it in the top third locally and in the top 50% nationally. While the school doesn't have Progress 8 scores to show how much value it adds, the raw attainment figures are clear: pupils here are outperforming the typical Wiltshire peer.
