About Wheatfields Primary School

Wheatfields Primary School in Huntingdonshire was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in November 2024, with the school receiving Good marks across every category judged, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision also earned a Good rating, maintaining the same standard as the previous inspection in 2019. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 44% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the local authority average of 58% for Cambridgeshire primary schools. Nationally, Wheatfields ranks in the bottom 13% of all primary schools on this measure, and within Huntingdonshire it sits 160th out of 210 similar schools. The school's reading average score of 105 and maths average score of 102 both fall just above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting individual subject performance is closer to the norm than the combined headline figure implies.
