About Swell Church of England Primary School
Swell Church of England Primary School’s key stage 2 headline measure sits slightly above the local authority average for its type, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Gloucestershire average of 59%. That four-point gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 88% met the expected standard in reading, 75% in writing and 63% in maths. The school’s ranking within the Cotswold district places it 18th out of 38 primary schools, putting it in the middle of the pack locally and just inside the bottom half nationally. What stands out is that no pupils reached the higher standard in reading or maths, though a quarter did so in writing. With only 36 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, this is a very small school where individual results can swing noticeably from year to year. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2017, rated the school Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, early years provision and the quality of education.
