About St Nicholas Church of England Primary School

St Nicholas Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 48 applications for just 21 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.29. Every single one of those 20 first-preference applicants was offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school delivers. The school is a small, Church of England state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with 139 pupils on roll — slightly over its official capacity of 130. The headteacher is Lucy Hill. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was judged to remain Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 11.5 per cent, which is modest and reflects the largely rural Wiltshire catchment.
