Welcome to Churchfields Primary School whether you are new to the school or have had your children attending here for many years, I wish you a warm welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Churchfields Primary School was founded in 1890 and we moved to our current site in 1990.
In 2017, we joined a small group of like-minded schools as part of the Quality First Education Trust (Q1E) which allows us to collaborate and support each other to continually improve.
We were pleased to announce that Churchfields Primary School was graded Good following our Ofsted inspection in October 2023, with the report noting that Churchfields Primary School is a warm and welcoming place.
Pupils, staff, parents and carers are all proud to be part of this community. and The provision for pupils personal development is impressive and consistently of high quality. It is underpinned by the school's core values of aspiration, citizenship and excellence.
