About Wanborough Primary School

Wanborough Primary School is a primary school in Swindon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 203 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 77% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 18% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 90% of the families who made Wanborough Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.15 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. There are about 23.1 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Wanborough 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.
