About Colebrook Junior School

Colebrook Junior School in Swindon was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 52% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Swindon local authority average of 62%, placing the school 38th out of 51 primary schools in the area.
