About Seven Fields Primary School

Seven Fields Primary School sits within the Swindon local authority, where it ranks 51st out of 66 primary schools of the same type, placing it in the bottom tier locally. The top-performing peers in the area include Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, The Croft Primary School, and Lift Hazelwood, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. For families prioritising a school with a strong local reputation, the nearest Outstanding-rated option is Rodbourne Cheney Primary School, just 1.3 kilometres away. Seven Fields itself has a Requires Improvement rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has held consistently across its last two inspections. The school serves a notably high proportion of disadvantaged pupils, with 67.7 per cent eligible for free school meals, and its capacity of 336 is currently underfilled at 269 pupils, suggesting it is not yet a first-choice destination for many local families.
