About Wootton Community Primary School

Wootton Community Primary School has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in November 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. That's a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2016, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 79% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That puts the school well ahead of the Isle of Wight local authority average of 52% and ranks it first out of 35 primary schools in the area. In fact, Wootton sits in the top 25% of schools nationally on this measure. Individual subject results are strong too, with 89% of pupils reaching the expected standard in maths and 86% in reading.
