About St Sampson's Church of England Primary School

St Sampson's Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2016 and confirmed in a subsequent ungraded visit in 2021. That's a solid foundation, but the real story lies in the school's most recent Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year. While 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, this figure sits just below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. The school's ranking within the county reflects this: it places 90th out of 159 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of Wiltshire's state primaries. Nationally, it sits around the 67th percentile, meaning roughly a third of schools across England achieved a higher proportion of pupils hitting that combined benchmark.
