About Westbury Church of England Junior School

Just over a quarter of parents responding to the most recent Ofsted parent view questionnaire said they would recommend Westbury Church of England Junior School, a figure that sits well below the national average for primary schools. The school is oversubscribed, with 264 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, suggesting that local demand remains steady despite the mixed signals from the parent community. The school’s most recent graded inspection in May 2024 rated it Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since its previous inspection in 2015. Inspectors noted that behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, remain Good, but leadership and management and the quality of education both require improvement. The school serves a Wiltshire community with above-average levels of disadvantage: 41.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average for primary schools.
