About Brook Field Primary School

Brook Field Primary School sits within the Swindon local authority, where it ranks 11th out of 51 primary schools, placing it comfortably in the top 25% of its peers. The school's ranking score of 75 puts it behind the top three in the area — Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, Lift Hazelwood, and The Croft Primary School — but it still holds a strong position in the local landscape. For context, only four primary schools in Swindon currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, with the nearest being Haydon Wick Primary School, 2.8 kilometres away. Brook Field itself has been rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, and an ungraded inspection in March 2025 noted that the school had improved significantly since its previous full inspection. Leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, were both judged Good, and the school has maintained this rating across its inspections.
