About Willersey Church of England Primary School

Willersey Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in the Cotswolds, and its headline academic metrics sit below the local authority average for similar schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 44% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Gloucestershire average of 59%. That gap is significant and places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 161st out of 243 in the local authority. The school’s ranking score of 44 out of 100 puts it in the bottom 50% tier, and within the Cotswold district it sits 31st out of 38 schools. These figures suggest that while the school serves a small cohort, academic outcomes are not its strongest suit, and parents prioritising high attainment may want to look at nearby alternatives like Meysey Hampton or Temple Guiting, which both score 100 on the same metric.
