About Greenfield St Mary's CofE School

Greenfield St Mary's CofE School is a smaller-than-average primary, with 178 pupils against a capacity of 210, and it's clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 47 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of nearly 3:1. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with 32 other children also applying, demand significantly outstrips supply. The school's intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average: just 5.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This suggests a relatively affluent catchment, and the school's Church of England character may also be a draw for families seeking a faith-based education. The headteacher, Suzanne Hall, leads a mixed-gender primary for children aged 4 to 11, and the school does not have a nursery or sixth form.
