School overview

Greenfields Community School is a primary school serving Nottingham, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 235 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Greenfields Community School 'Good'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 7.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous 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 103 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 97% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (31 first choices for 30 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.7%. There are about 26.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 42% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
