About schools in Swindon

Most of the 92 schools listed in Swindon are primary schools. Its 13 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. One all-through school teaches every age from the early years to school-leaving age on a single site.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.

Key stage 2, 2024/25: 60%; of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, across the 58 schools with published results
Key stage 4, 2024/25: 44.7; average Attainment 8 score, across the 16 schools with published results
