About St Thomas à Becket Church of England Aided Primary School

St Thomas à Becket Church of England Aided Primary School in Wiltshire was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in February 2024, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The single most telling exam metric for this small primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 38% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure places the school well below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, and it ranks 142nd out of 201 primary schools in the county. In national terms, the school sits in the bottom 50% of all primaries for this measure, at the 93rd percentile from the bottom. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in both reading and writing, while 50% did so in maths, and average scores in reading (103) and maths (98) suggest reading is a relative strength.
