About Lift Hazelwood

Lift Hazelwood, a state primary in Swindon, has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s strongest academic story lies in its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Swindon local authority average of 62%, placing the school third out of 51 primary schools in the area and inside the top 5% nationally. In individual subjects, the picture is similarly strong: 97% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, while 90% did so in writing and 87% in reading.
