Which primary schools in Westbury have the best SATs results?
Of the 4 primary schools in Westbury with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Bratton Primary School (83% in reading, 78% in maths); Bitham Brook Primary School (79% in reading, 78% in maths); and Dilton Marsh CofE Primary School (67% in reading, 83% in maths).

Do schools in Westbury have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Westbury have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Wiltshire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.
How do I apply for a school place in Westbury?
Apply to Wiltshire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts.
