About Swaffield School

Swaffield School, a state primary in Wandsworth, was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2025, with inspectors singling out personal development as Outstanding. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 66%. That is just a shade below the Wandsworth local authority average of 68%, placing Swaffield 34th out of 55 primary schools in the borough. While the school does not rank among the top performers locally — its nearest Outstanding-rated school, Floreat Wandsworth Primary, is only half a kilometre away — the data shows solid, if not exceptional, outcomes. A closer look at individual subjects reveals that maths is a relative strength: 80% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 105, and 25% achieved the higher standard. Reading and writing expected rates were 73% and 77% respectively, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was just 11%.
