About Oldfield Park Junior School

Oldfield Park Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Bath and North East Somerset, and it is currently operating slightly above its official capacity. With 248 pupils against a capacity of 240, the school is clearly popular with local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.2%, which is a significant data point for parents weighing up the school’s intake. While the national average for primary FSM is typically around 23-24%, and the local authority average is often lower in this relatively affluent area, this figure suggests Oldfield Park draws from a genuinely mixed catchment. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher David Goucher. Demand appears strong, and given the school is already over its stated capacity, parents considering it should be aware that securing a place may be competitive, particularly for in-year admissions.
