Using School Checker in Wiltshire
This page lists 20 postcode districts in Wiltshire. School Checker groups schools by outward postcode (for example WF2 or N1), not by parish or ward. Open a district to see every school we list, state-funded and independent, with Ofsted, attainment, attendance, and local context on one screen.
Across Wiltshire we currently show 233 state-funded schools in 20 districts (199 primary, 28 secondary, 6 other phase). We also list 16 independent (fees usually apply) and 7 independent special (usually LA-funded). These figures come from official government school data and we update them regularly.
Districts with the most schools in Wiltshire right now include BA14 (24 schools), SP4 (21 schools), SN10 (20 schools). Smaller outward codes can still be useful if you are comparing streets near a boundary.
Wiltshire runs state school admissions for its area. Rules, catchment definitions, and tie-breakers are set locally and can change each year.

Common questions about schools in Wiltshire
- How many schools does School Checker list in Wiltshire?
- We list 233 state-funded schools across 20 postcode districts in Wiltshire (199 primary, 28 secondary, 6 other phase). Plus 23 independent schools (fee-paying and independent special, labelled on each card). Counts change when schools open, close, or change phase.
- How do school admissions work in Wiltshire?
- Wiltshire runs state school admissions for its area. Rules, catchment definitions, and tie-breakers are set locally and can change each year. School Checker shows historic demand indicators on school cards where published. They are not a guarantee of a place. Always read the Wiltshire admissions booklet and each school's oversubscription criteria.
- What is a postcode district on this page?
- A postcode district is the outward part of a postcode (the letters and numbers before the space, such as WF2). Wiltshire is split into 20 districts on School Checker. Each district page lists schools whose postcode falls in that outward code, plus distance from your home postcode when you add one.
- How should I use School Checker to research schools in Wiltshire?
- Start with the district closest to your home (busy districts here include BA14 (24 schools), SP4 (21 schools), SN10 (20 schools)). Add your full postcode on the district page for straight-line distances and map pins. Shortlist schools you like, then open Compare for side-by-side figures and a CSV download. Visit schools and confirm admissions rules with Wiltshire before you apply.
- Where does the data for Wiltshire schools come from?
- School names, addresses, and governance come from the government school register. Ofsted publishes inspection outcomes. The Department for Education publishes attendance, attainment, pupil characteristics, and SEN figures. Local context rows (crime, census, house prices) are labelled by geography on each district page. See our methodology page for more detail and how to report a likely error with a school URN.
