About Haydon Wick Primary School

Haydon Wick Primary School is a state primary in Swindon that is running very close to capacity, with 268 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 280. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 12.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively mixed but not disadvantaged intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 124 applications for just 40 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 3.1 applicants per place. Of those, 42 were first-preference applications, and all 40 places went to first-preference families. That level of competition places Haydon Wick among the more sought-after primaries in Swindon, and it’s worth noting that the school is one of only four in the local authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.
