About St George's Catholic Primary School, Warminster

St George's Catholic Primary School in Warminster is a small state primary with 89 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 210. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — sits at 61%, which is three percentage points above the Wiltshire local authority average of 58% for primary schools. That places it 70th out of 201 primaries in the county, or roughly in the top third. However, the school's overall Ofsted rating is Requires Improvement, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections (the latest being in November 2023). The picture is mixed: inspectors rated behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, as Good, but quality of education, leadership and management, and early years provision all remain Requires Improvement. For a school with a Roman Catholic character and a headteacher who has been in post since at least the last inspection, the gap between solid exam outcomes and a middling Ofsted rating is worth noting.
