Welcome to the website of Robert Le Kyng Primary School. We hope you find it informative and useful. We are a two form entry primary school with just under 420 children on roll. Many year groups are full and the school is often oversubscribed. Robert Le Kyng Primary School is a happy, friendly school at the heart of a diverse and cosmopolitan community in Central Swindon.
We have a deep commitment to developing the unique qualities of every child and to ensuring that all children receive high quality teaching in order to promote highest academic standards possible.
Our staff are committed to the ideal of caring for and responding to individual needs and our children have quickly developed the same positive attitude towards individual differences.
Ours is a school where diversity is understood and valued, with about 30 different languages spoken in the school, our ethos of taking in and nurturing vulnerable pupils and the pride we take in our Special Resource Provision . Our Specialist Resource Provision (or "the Snug") caters for up to 10 children with physical impairments.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
