About this cluster

Within the Warminster Cluster there are 13 schools (local authority maintained and academies) in the 2021-22 academic year – 1 secondary and 12 primaries.

The majority of the clusters’ schools are situated in urban areas, with 5 of the primary phase schools in rural villages.  6 of the primary phase schools are ‘small schools’ (fewer than 120 children on roll).

Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2019 data shows Warminster has relatively low levels of deprivation.  3 Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) rank in the 4th decile for overall deprivation nationally, with all other areas in the 5th to 9th deciles.

One school in the clusters has higher than the national average of pupils eligible for Free School Meals – Princecroft Primary (n=59, 32.4%).  Schools with the highest numbers or proportions of children eligible for Service Pupil Premium in the cluster were Kingdown School (n=152, 9.8%), Sutton Veny Primary (n=44, 27%), New Close Primary (n=69, 67.6%) and Avenue Primary (n=78, 26%).

The numbers of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) were notably higher than the national average at the Avenue Primary (n=34, 11.3% with an EHCP) and New Close Primary (n=27, 26.5% receiving SEN support).
