Lydiard Millicent CofE Primary School

Swindon, SN5 3LR · Wiltshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.4/10 Broadly average

65th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 2,981 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 5.5/10 nationally. 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 67.0 · 57 40% 2.28
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 7.0 · 51 25% 1.27

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 5.5 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 165 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 45 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 student? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a smaller-than-capacity intake?
