About Neston Primary School

Neston Primary School is a primary school in Neston, Corsham, Wiltshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 180 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 33% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Neston Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 27 families who put it first were offered a place. There are about 20.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Neston Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
