Good, and all of them are in someone else's village. About eight in ten schools across Wiltshire are rated good or better. No school carries Rudloe's name. The secondary is in Corsham. The schools are strong. You will be driving to them.
Ofsted has given a published grade to 128 schools and settings across Wiltshire, and 106 of them are rated good or better, so more than four in five clear the bar. Six are outstanding and 100 are good. Twenty are rated requires improvement and two inadequate. These counts cover the whole council area, not this village, so they tell you what the county system is like before they tell you anything about the school at the end of your road. Some other settings have no published grade yet, and a missing grade tells you nothing either way.
A school's name on an estate agent's listing is not a place in that school. Admissions are decided by the council's and each school's own criteria, and those criteria have no interest in how close the house felt to the school on the viewing. Check the admissions rules for the specific school before you buy, and check them against the specific address. Parents who skip that step tend to find out on offer day, which is the most expensive way to learn how admissions work.
The village has a choice of nearby primaries rather than one of its own. Neston Primary School and Box Church of England Primary School are the nearest options in the smaller villages. Corsham has its own cluster, including Corsham Primary School, The Corsham Regis Primary Academy and a Catholic primary. For secondary, The Corsham School is the obvious route, and it serves a wide spread of villages around the town. Heywood Preparatory School is the fee-paying option locally, for parents whose answer to the admissions question is a cheque.
The schools are a real strength here, drawn from a county system where good is the normal grade. The catch is the school run, which is a drive from Rudloe whichever school you pick.
