St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, Corsham
About St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, Corsham
St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School in Corsham posts a KS2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 57%, which sits just one point below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58% for primary schools. That places it in the middle of the pack — ranked 84th out of 201 primary schools in the county, and 86th out of 159 in its own LA ranking tier. It’s not a standout performer, but it’s not lagging far behind either. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, held consistently across its two most recent inspections (the latest in 2022), reinforces the picture of a solid, dependable state primary. With 179 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it’s running below full occupancy, which suggests there’s room for growth and that families aren’t yet queuing round the block — though the 2025/26 admissions data tells a slightly different story, with 55 applications for 29 places and an oversubscription ratio of 1. 9.
