About Lethbridge Primary School

Lethbridge Primary School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Swindon local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 62%, Lethbridge achieves 84% — a full 22 percentage points higher. That strong performance is reflected in its local ranking: 4th out of 51 primary schools in Swindon, placing it in the top 10% of the authority. It also ranks 66th out of 1,469 primaries in the South West region and 850th nationally out of 13,686, comfortably inside the top 7% of schools across England. The school’s Ofsted rating is Good, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2010. Its most recent graded inspection in 2013 awarded Good across the board, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. For parents comparing options, Lethbridge clearly outperforms the typical Swindon primary on the key KS2 benchmark.
