About Southfield Junior School

Southfield Junior School is a state primary in Swindon, catering for pupils aged 7 to 11. It sits 17th out of 51 primary schools in the local authority, placing it comfortably in the top third. The three highest-ranked peers in Swindon are Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, Lift Hazelwood, and The Croft Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Southfield’s own ranking score of 70 puts it in the top 50 nationally, and within the South West region it ranks 351st out of 1,469 primary schools. The school is led by headteacher Julie Warburton and has a capacity of 240, though it currently enrols 169 pupils, meaning there is some spare capacity. Just 13 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively advantaged intake. The school has no religious character and is mixed-gender.
