About Beardall Fields Primary and Nursery School

Beardall Fields Primary and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 147 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.45. Of those, 58 families put it as their first preference, and 57 of them were offered a place. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to get their children in. While the Department for Education doesn't publish a formal parent-view survey for this school, the sheer number of applications — more than double the places available — is a strong signal that it holds a good reputation in Ashfield. The school is led by headteacher Katherine Collins and caters for children from age 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It's a state primary with no religious character, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in October 2021, rated it Good across the board.
