About Sutton Benger Church of England Primary School

Sutton Benger Church of England Primary School has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The inspection, carried out in November 2023, awarded Good marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. But the strongest signal of academic strength comes from its Key Stage 2 results. In the 2023/24 academic year, 88% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure places the school well above the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, and ranks it 8th out of 159 primary schools in the county — putting it in the top 5% nationally. With a ranking score of 88, it sits just behind top local peers like Stanton St Quintin and The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy.
