About North Wingfield Primary and Nursery Academy

If you're a parent in North East Derbyshire weighing up primary options, the numbers at North Wingfield Primary and Nursery Academy tell a clear story. The school is genuinely popular: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 79 applications for just 39 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.03. That means more than two families applied for every spot, and of those, 37 were first-preference offers — so most successful applicants got their top choice. It's a strong vote of confidence from local parents, and it's backed up by the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024, which rated it Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2017, when it was graded Requires Improvement overall. The turnaround under headteacher Rachael Peacock has clearly resonated with families.
