About Mountford Manor Primary School

Mountford Manor Primary School in Swindon is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 214 pupils against a capacity of 248. That leaves a modest buffer of 34 places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 39 applications for 30 places, with 25 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.34, meaning for every place available, roughly 1.3 families wanted it. Demographically, the school serves a notably high-needs community — 47.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. This context matters when interpreting the school’s academic results, as it suggests a cohort facing significant socio-economic challenges. The school also offers nursery provision, and its facilities include a Forest School, sensory room, and a chapel, alongside standard primary amenities like a library, sports hall, and ICT suite.
