About Greenfields Primary School and Nursery

Greenfields Primary School and Nursery sits well above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, a clear standout in North Northamptonshire. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Greenfields achieves 78% — a significant gap of 17 percentage points. This places the school 13th out of 111 primary schools in the authority, comfortably in the top 25% nationally. It’s one of only two primaries in the area rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a distinction it earned in its most recent graded inspection. The school’s capacity is 484 pupils and it currently has 470 on roll, so it’s running near full. With 21.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a reasonably diverse intake, yet its outcomes punch well above what you might expect from the local average.

Academically, the detail backs up the headline. In the 2023/24 key stage 2 results, 78% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and 8% reached the higher standard. In reading, 82% met the expected level and 33% achieved the higher standard; in writing, 83% met expectations and 10% reached the higher tier; in maths, 85% met the expected level and 32% hit the higher standard. Average scaled scores were 106 in both reading and maths, comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school’s Ofsted inspection in 2025 gave it Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clean sweep that reflects its previous Good rating from 2015. The ungraded inspection in 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained.

Practical considerations matter here. The school offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a genuine all-through primary option for families. It’s oversubscribed: for 2025/26, there were 101 applications for 58 places, with 53 first-preference applications and 52 first-preference offers. That’s an oversubscription ratio of 1.74, so early application is wise. Facilities include a library, outdoor playground, music rooms, playing fields and a chapel. Sports on offer include swimming, football, athletics and rounders, while clubs cover science, drama and book club. The school lists seven SEND provisions, including support for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. Parent View responses from 39 parents in the 2024/25 period show 87% would recommend the school, with particularly strong agreement that children are happy and safe.
