About Wardour Catholic Primary School

Wardour Catholic Primary School is a small Roman Catholic primary in Wiltshire, with 85 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105. It ranks 28th out of 201 same-type schools in the local authority, placing it in the top 25 per cent of primary schools in Wiltshire. The three schools ranked immediately above it — Stanton St Quintin Primary and Nursery School, The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy, and Sutton Veny CofE School — all score higher on the same ranking metric, but Wardour holds its own in a competitive local landscape. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, receiving 25 applications for 15 places, with 13 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, particularly among Catholic families in the area. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and it has held a Good rating since its last graded inspection in February 2020.
