About South Wingfield Primary School

South Wingfield Primary School is a primary school in Alfreton, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 137 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted. 57% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 10.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made South Wingfield Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 20 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
