William Morris Primary School was opened in September 2019. By 2025 we will have grown to become a full 2 form entry primary, including nursery. William Morris is a happy, welcoming school where the children are at the heart of everything we do. Our team is a family growing together to develop our school for the children.
The children at William Morris are friendly and engaged, they are keen to learn and have strong positive relationships with staff. We collaborate closely with families - parents are very supportive of the school. The PTA offers activities and fundraisers to support the community and school. The Governors are knowledgeable and visual in our school.
They work closely with staff and carry out their role collaboratively. Our school is in a bright and spacious building, situated on the edge of Tadpole Garden Village. We have a fabulous field, pond, cookery room and library to support our curriculum.
William Morris Primary School is part of The Blue Kite Academy Trust which consists of 10 primary schools in Swindon who collaborate and work together.
