St George's Catholic Primary School, Warminster

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 July 2026

Pupils are proud of their school and attend well. Interactions with staff and with their peers are kind and polite. This is a small school in a military town, so pupils may join at different times. Older pupils positively model the values of the school to younger ones. High expectations and routines support pupils to conduct themselves well. Pupils moving to the school transition well to the caring culture of the school. Unkind behaviours between pupils are unusual. The school community helps one another to make positive choices. The recently revised curriculum helps pupils to remember more. Common routines in lessons help pupils to talk about their learning. They enjoy sharing their knowledge and ideas. Children in reception learn the foundational skills they need. The mixed years classroom is well structured so that children and pupils focus on the most appropriate learning for their stage. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, or experience barriers to learning, are well supported. Teachers work with leaders, parents and carers to identify the needs of pupils. They plan support to overcome barriers to learning or wellbeing. The school has been through a period of positive, holistic change, from the physical environment to the curriculum, routines and expectations. Published outcomes are improving over time with the revisions made by a new leadership team. Parents recognise the positive changes. Leaders plan wider opportunities, trips and experiences for pupils. These support pupils' learning in the curriculum. Pupils attend a variety of clubs, such as a range of sports, Japanese club and choir. The ‘Little Troopers’ group celebrates pupils from service families. Older pupils take on different roles in leadership. They contribute to the school, such as the Eco-club composting the fruit, house captains managing house points and the school council engaging in designs for the new school library.

What the school should improve

• Leaders should build on the work to teach writing well by replicating those same high expectations across the whole curriculum, so that pupils continue to secure and rehearse their writing skills consistently.
• Leaders should continue to evaluate the work they have embedded in the curriculum to raise pupil outcomes, including in the early years, so that their refinements continue to help pupils achieve well across all key metrics.
• Leaders should further refine the actions and targets identified to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities to be more precise and developmental, so that pupils progress can be more explicitly tracked and measured.
