About Hillfields Nursery School

Hillfields Nursery School is the only state nursery in Coventry, and it currently has 148 pupils on its roll. While the data doesn’t specify its official capacity, the fact that it’s the sole nursery of its kind in the local authority suggests it’s a key early years provider for the area. The school serves children aged 2 to 5, and its intake is mixed gender with no religious character. Free school meal eligibility data isn’t provided here, but given that Coventry has areas of significant deprivation, it’s reasonable to assume the school supports a diverse socioeconomic mix. There’s no admission oversubscription information in the data, so it’s unclear how competitive places are, but as the only option in the LA, demand is likely high. The school’s headteacher is Fiona Brinson, who leads a setting that has clearly established itself as a cornerstone of early years education in the city.
