About Lawn Primary and Nursery School

Lawn Primary and Nursery School sits within the Swindon local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of 51 primary schools, it placed 42nd, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. For context, the top-performing peers in Swindon include Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, Lift Hazelwood, and The Croft Primary School, each with significantly higher ranking scores.
