About St Paul's Primary School

St Paul's Primary School in Wiltshire holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The most telling exam metric for this 4-11 mixed state primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at just 22%. This is significantly below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58% and places the school 158th out of 159 primary schools in the county. In the national rankings, St Paul's sits in the bottom 50 tier, at the 99th percentile, meaning only a handful of schools nationwide have a lower combined score.
