Schools in Wiltshire

Between the limestone Cotswolds and the chalk sweeps of Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire stretches across South West England from the Swindon conurbation in the north-east to the fringes of Cranborne Chase and the New Forest in the south. Around 770,000 people call the county home. Spread across 3,485 square kilometres, the county is one of the most sparsely populated in the South West, its open downlands and river valleys giving Wiltshire a character quite distinct from surrounding urban centres.

Marlborough, sheltered beneath the Marlborough Downs and within reach of Savernake Forest, is among the most school-competitive market towns in the county, where families weigh catchment boundaries and proximity to independent alternatives when choosing where to settle. To the west, Chippenham and the village of Atworth form another family-focused corridor, and Great Western Railway services from Chippenham connect residents to Bath in under twenty minutes.
