Chiseldon Primary & Nursery School was graded Good at its last Ofsted inspection, on 8 March 2022.
Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Reception place starting that September. Children start Reception in the September after their fourth birthday. You can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference, and offers are sent on 16 April, or the next working day. A place in its nursery class does not carry on into Reception, so you still need to apply.
No. Distance only counts when Chiseldon Primary & Nursery School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Swindon, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Chiseldon Primary & Nursery School had 183 pupils aged 2 to 11 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 244. It is a mixed school.
