Greenfields Primary School
About Greenfields Primary School
Greenfields Primary School in Three Rivers is a state primary that currently educates 216 pupils against a capacity of 240, meaning it has some room to grow but is clearly in demand. The school’s intake reflects a diverse socioeconomic mix, with 21.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals — a figure worth noting against the national primary average of around 23%. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 65 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.17, and only 27 of those 30 first-preference applicants secured a spot. That suggests a school that local families are keen to get into, even if it isn’t the most oversubscribed in the area. Headteacher Kate Day leads a mixed, non-religious school that also offers nursery provision for children from age three, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
