Greenmeadow Primary School
About Greenmeadow Primary School
Greenmeadow Primary School is a state primary in Swindon, a local authority where just four out of 66 primary schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Greenmeadow itself is rated Good, a significant step up from its previous Requires Improvement judgement, and it sits 16th out of 51 primary schools in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it ahead of the local average and within reach of the top performers in the area, such as Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, The Croft Primary School, and Lift Hazelwood, which occupy the top three spots. The school is led by headteacher Kate Mackinnon and serves 206 pupils, with capacity for 260. It is a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 4 to 11, and it does not offer nursery provision. Its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management and overall effectiveness both rated Good.
