About Swallowfield Primary

Swallowfield Primary enjoys strong parent endorsement, with 94% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025 and gathered 115 responses, paints a picture of a school where children are settled and well looked after. 77% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 76% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is seen as a strength, with 57% strongly agreeing that the school ensures good conduct. The school is clearly popular in the local area too: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 116 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those applications, 68 were first-preference choices, and all 60 places were offered to first-preference families, suggesting that for those who put it top of their list, securing a spot is realistic.
