About Willowbrook Primary School

Willowbrook Primary School in Wiltshire is a small state primary where the headline academic metrics sit noticeably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 40% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Wiltshire average of 58%. That gap of 18 percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primaries in the county, ranked 138th out of 159. The picture is similar at the higher standard: only 4% of children achieved that level across all three subjects. These figures are worth holding in mind, but they don't tell the whole story. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 52.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average — and its small size of just 95 children means a handful of individual results can shift the percentages significantly.
