Fleecefield Primary School
About Fleecefield Primary School
Fleecefield Primary School sits within the Enfield local authority, where it ranks 41st out of 59 primary schools based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, some way behind the top-performing peers in the area — Hadley Wood Primary School, St Paul's CofE Primary School and One Degree Academy all score considerably higher on the same metric. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Antoinette Goldwater and currently has 328 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 480. Over two in five pupils (40.2%) are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, which gives a sense of the community it serves. The school is heavily oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 73 applications for just 22 places, with all 22 first-preference families offered a spot.
