About Us
Catherine Wayte Primary School opened on 6th September 2000 and provides education for pupils aged 4-11 years. We are a popular and successful school which serves the North Swindon community. We have two classes in each year group. The teaching team work with support staff and governors, in partnership with parents, to provide the best possible education for our pupils.
The school is named after the daughter of the owner of Manor Farm and the land on which the school is built. She was concerned that local children were not being educated and sought to provide schooling for children from the parishes of Blunsdon St. Andrew and Rodbourne Cheney. She established a school in Haydon Wick in 1806 to provide basic education for local boys and girls.

Our vision statement has a high profile within the school and underpins all our work including academic attainment, achievements in areas such as sport or art or music, behaviour, contribution to the school community and health and well-being.
