Southfield Junior School
Swindon, SN6 7BZ · Swindon · primary school
16th of 54 primary schools in Swindon we can score, 66 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 — 6.5/10 against 4,355 of them, against 6.7/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Mud Club and Gardening. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 169 pupils in a school with 240 places, leaving 71 spare places. 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 do the smaller class sizes affect individual attention during lessons? What does a typical day look like for a child in the Mud Club? How does the school support pupils who need extra help with writing?
