Westrop Primary & Nursery School

School overview

Westrop Primary & Nursery School is a primary school serving Swindon, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 380 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 4.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Westrop Primary & Nursery School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 52 first choices for 45 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.85 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 23.4 pupils per teacher. Westrop Primary & Nursery School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
