About St Nicholas Church of England Primary School, Bromham

St Nicholas Church of England Primary School, Bromham, is a small state primary in Wiltshire with just 62 pupils on roll, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement overall. That places it below the local authority average for primary schools, where the typical Key Stage 2 attainment score sits at 58. The school’s capacity is 90, so it is operating well below its potential size, and it is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 7 applications for 4 places and a ratio of 1. 75 applicants per spot. This suggests that despite the Ofsted rating, local demand remains strong, likely driven by its Church of England character and rural setting in Bromham. The school has nursery provision for children aged 2 and offers a mixed, co-educational environment. Its headteacher is Theo Gaines.
