About Abbey Farm Educate Together Primary

Abbey Farm Educate Together Primary is a relatively small school in Swindon, with 143 pupils on roll against a capacity of 460, meaning it is currently operating at just under a third of its potential size. This is a school with a notably low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 4.8%, well below the national average. Despite its small current intake, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 107 total applications for just 58 places, with 50 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.84. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, a strong signal that local parents see something special here. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 3 to 11, including a nursery provision. Headteacher Emma Lindsay leads a school that, according to its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2025, was judged Good overall, with an Outstanding rating specifically for its early years provision.
