About St George's Church of England Primary School, Semington

In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of just 58%. That is a striking gap of nearly 30 percentage points, and it places the school 10th out of 159 primaries in Wiltshire — comfortably in the top 10% of the county. Nationally, it sits in the top 4% of all primary schools on this measure. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 13% of pupils reaching that level across all three subjects.
