About Nythe Primary School

Nythe Primary School’s headline metrics place it well below 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%, Nythe’s figure is just 34%. That gap is stark and puts the school at rank 50 out of 51 primary schools in Swindon, in the bottom 2% locally. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 5% of all primary schools. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story: only 3% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 14% reaching the higher standard in reading alone and 10% in writing. Maths is the weakest area, with just 38% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 97.
