How it is worked outThe bars show how far the last place offered reached each year. A full bar means everyone who applied was offered a place; a dash means we hold no distance for that year. Your postcode is set against each year's last distance.
- A record of past years, not a promise: the distance changes every year with who applies.

How it is worked outThe dashed circle is drawn from the school as far as the last child offered a place lived, in a straight line. A red dot is your home, with a line to the school. Tap the map to open the full Schools map.
- Councils measure distance their own way (some by walking route), so the circle is a guide, not a boundary.
Dashed circle: the last place, 2026 (4.42 mi). Faint ring: 2024 (3.65 mi).

How it is worked outRanked on 2025 KS2 results: the share reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. One year and one figure: each school's place among Swindon's primaries with a published figure that year; the share reaching the higher standard breaks a tie. Schools on the same figures share a place. A school whose figure DfE hides (a small year group) or does not publish is not ranked, never put last. Source: DfE school performance tables.
- One rank everywhere on the site. A school with no published figure that year is not ranked, never put last.

- Check the quote against the school's own current admission policy before you rely on it: rules change each year.
We found no priority for named primary schools in the arrangements for 2027/28 (the document). Our tools read it, but nobody has read it line by line.

- Replaced Grange Junior School (URN 126207)
- We can't compare results before and after it converted: we hold results for only one side of the date, because DfE publishes a few years at a time.
Fees and clubs
State schools charge no tuition fees. Breakfast clubs, after-school clubs and holiday clubs are set by each school: ask the school what it runs and what it costs.
