About St Barnabas Church of England School, Market Lavington
St Barnabas Church of England School in Market Lavington is a small primary with 130 pupils, and its most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating. However, the school does not have published Key Stage 2 SATs results or a Progress 8 score in the data, so it is not possible to compare its headline academic metrics directly against the Wiltshire local authority average of 58 for KS2 attainment. What the data does show is that the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 17 applications for just 8 places, with all 8 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 2. 13 suggests strong local demand, even without published exam scores to benchmark against the LA average. The school’s Good rating, combined with its Church of England character and nursery provision for children from age two, likely makes it a popular choice among families in the area.
