About Urchfont Church of England Primary School

Urchfont Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Devizes, Wiltshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 87 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Urchfont Church of England 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.
