About Thongsley Fields Primary and Nursery School

Thongsley Fields Primary and Nursery School sits within the Cambridgeshire local authority, a large county with 210 primary schools. In the most recent local rankings, the school placed 122nd, placing it in the bottom half of primaries in the area. The top-performing peers in the same authority include Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School, and Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. Thongsley Fields itself serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 50.5% of its 227 pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The school has capacity for 420 pupils but currently enrols just over half that number, suggesting it is not yet full. It is a mixed, non-denominational state primary with a nursery provision, catering for children from age three through to eleven. The headteacher is David Jones, and the school is located in the Huntingdonshire district of the East of England region.
