Wroughton Junior School
About Wroughton Junior School
Wroughton Junior School sits within the Swindon local authority, a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 that ranks 13th out of 51 schools of its type in the area. That places it comfortably in the top quarter of Swindon primaries, though it is not among the very highest scorers locally. The top three peers in the authority are Bishopstone Church of England Primary School, Lift Hazelwood, and The Croft Primary School, all of which post higher ranking scores. Wroughton’s own score of 72 puts it 14th in the LA when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is East Wichel Primary School & Nursery, just 1. 2 kilometres away, which gives local families a clear alternative if they are prioritising that top grade. Wroughton itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection, a standard it has maintained across both its 2019 graded inspection and an ungraded visit in February 2025, where inspectors confirmed that standards were being sustained.
