Wadsworth Fields Primary School

About Wadsworth Fields Primary School

Wadsworth Fields Primary School in Broxtowe was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good, and the ungraded visit confirmed that it remains a Good school. For a primary school, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 performance. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 61 per cent, and while Wadsworth Fields’ own figure is not published in this data, the school sits within a competitive local context. Among Nottinghamshire’s 286 state primary schools, only 14 hold an Outstanding rating, and the nearest Outstanding school, Sunnyside Spencer Academy, is 1.5 kilometres away. That puts Wadsworth Fields in a solid position for families prioritising a reliably Good-rated school with consistent leadership.

The school’s Ofsted history shows it has been rated Good since at least 2010, when its overall effectiveness was also judged as Good, with leadership and management and early years provision both scoring 2 on the four-point scale. The most recent graded inspection in 2013 again awarded Good across the board. While specific Progress 8 or SATs scores for Wadsworth Fields are not available in this data, the local authority average of 61 per cent for Key Stage 2 provides a useful benchmark. Parents looking at the school’s academic profile should note that it has maintained a Good rating over multiple inspection cycles, which suggests consistent teaching quality and pupil progress. The school does not have a sixth form, as it is a primary school for ages 3 to 11, and it offers nursery provision for younger children.

Wadsworth Fields has a capacity of 380 pupils and is a mixed, non-religious state school. Its facilities include playing fields, a sports hall, art studios, an outdoor playground, a sensory room and even a chapel, which is unusual for a non-faith school. Sports on offer include netball, tennis, athletics, cross country, gymnastics and swimming, while clubs range from eco club and science club to drama, art club, choir and chess. The sensory room suggests the school is equipped to support pupils with additional sensory needs. For families in Broxtowe, this is a well-resourced primary with a stable Good rating, nursery provision, and a broad extracurricular programme. It will suit parents who want a solid, consistent local school with good facilities and a wide range of activities, rather than a high-pressure academic environment.
