About St Mary's Broughton Gifford Voluntary Controlled Church of England Primary School

St Mary's Broughton Gifford Voluntary Controlled Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school now holds Good marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The most telling exam metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year: 54% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, placing the school 97th out of 159 primary schools in the county. While the combined expected standard figure is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story — 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 69% did so in maths, both stronger than the combined headline suggests.
