About Haydonleigh Primary School

Haydonleigh Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Swindon, one of 66 primary schools in the local authority. It sits within a competitive local landscape, with top-performing peers including Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, The Croft Primary School, and Lift Hazelwood. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Haydon Wick Primary School, just half a kilometre away. Haydonleigh itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in 2019 confirmed the school remains Good. Headteacher Sharon Peapell leads a school with 555 pupils, slightly below its capacity of 630. The school is non-religious and does not have a nursery or sixth form. It is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 132 applications for 56 places, with 55 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.36. That level of demand suggests strong local reputation, even without an Outstanding badge.
