Wingfield Primary School

About Wingfield Primary School

Wingfield Primary School sits within the Greenwich local authority, where it ranks 9th out of 62 primary schools of the same type, placing it comfortably in the top 15 per cent of its peers. The school is one of only 12 primaries in the borough to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a distinction it shares with nearby schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Eltham Church of England Primary School, and Our Lady of Grace Catholic Primary School, which occupy the top three spots in the local rankings. Headteacher Adam Wilson leads a large, mixed-gender, non-religious state primary for pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 260 families applied for 88 places, and 129 of those put Wingfield as their first preference. That level of demand, combined with its strong local standing, makes it a highly sought-after option for Greenwich families.

Academically, Wingfield delivers results that comfortably exceed both national and local benchmarks. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 80 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well above the Greenwich average of 71 per cent. The school’s average scores in reading (106) and maths (107) are both above the national benchmark of 100, and a notable 27 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. In maths specifically, 46 per cent of pupils hit the higher standard, while 51 per cent did so in reading and 37 per cent in writing. Ofsted’s most recent graded inspection, in November 2022, awarded Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This represents an upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2016, with leadership and management and early years provision both moving from Outstanding in the earlier inspection to Outstanding again in the latest.

The school is well equipped to support a broad range of needs, with SEND provisions covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. Facilities include a sensory room, an ICT suite, a forest school area, a sports hall, and a chapel. Pupils can take part in football, dance, gymnastics, cricket and swimming, and there are clubs for book lovers, eco-conscious students, film enthusiasts and coders. With 646 pupils on roll against a capacity of 682, the school is near full but not bursting, and the 15.8 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly below the national average for primary schools. Wingfield is a strong fit for families who want a large, inclusive, high-performing community school with a proven track record and a clear commitment to both academic rigour and personal development.
