About Sutton Veny CofE School

Sutton Veny CofE School is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, but the headline figure that really tells the story is its Key Stage 2 performance. An extraordinary 94% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, placing the school third out of 159 primary schools in Wiltshire and in the top 1% nationally. That figure is a full 36 percentage points above the local authority average of 58%, which is a remarkable gap for a state primary. The school’s ranking score of 94 puts it just behind the top two schools in the county, and it sits comfortably in the top five across the South West region. While the Ofsted rating has slipped from its previous Outstanding (awarded in 2007), the inspectors still judged the early years provision to be Outstanding, with Good marks across all other categories including quality of education, behaviour and leadership.
