About Eastfield Academy

Eastfield Academy in West Northamptonshire is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is currently running at full capacity with 213 pupils against a published capacity of 210. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 33.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 30 applications for just 12 places, with all 12 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. This suggests a local reputation that draws families from beyond the immediate catchment. The school is mixed and non-denominational, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Peter Fairbrother. It also offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
