Longleaze Primary School

Swindon, SN4 8BA · Wiltshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
6.0/10 Broadly average

41st of 181 primary schools in Wiltshire we can score, 201 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.8/10 against 3,660 of them, against 6.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 68.0 · 60 40% 2.41

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art Club, Dance with Kim, Happy Fit, Swindon Music Cooperative, Drumming lessons, and Ultimate Tuition. Sports include Netball, Tag Rugby, and Football with STFC, alongside Forest Schools trips. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 248 pupils in a capacity of 259, leaving 11 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 11 places remaining, how does the school manage admissions if demand exceeds capacity? Since the last inspection was in 2022, what specific improvements have been made to teaching quality since then? How does the school support pupils who do not attend the after-school club in the early afternoon?
