Ramsbury Primary School was built in the late 1980s to replace an earlier school which had become too small for the pupil numbers. Ramsbury lies in fertile farming land in the valley of the River Kennet. The site has been occupied since at least the Iron Age and there are several Roman villas. There was a bishopric of Ramsbury, established by 909 and ended in 1075 when it was included in the bishopric of Salisbury. Until 1744 when the present A4 road was turnpiked, the road through the village was part of the main route from London to Bristol.
