Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Brook Field Primary School

Brook Field Primary School is a primary school in Swindon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 413 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 70% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 5.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 40% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Brook Field Primary 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 63 first choices for 60 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.05 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 4.3%. There are about 22.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Brook Field Primary 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
