Northfield Primary and Nursery School - Nursery Provision

We are a larger than average primary school, in Mansfield Woodhouse.

Northfield Primary & Nursery School was opened in September 2001 following the amalgamation of the Infant & Junior Schools. The school is situated on a large site on the north western edge of Mansfield Woodhouse. It lies within a regeneration area with easy access to pleasant countryside and Sherwood Forest.

Northfield Primary School is one of several schools serving the Mansfield Woodhouse area. The school is currently made up of three morning foundation 1 groups, two foundation 2 classes, 4 KS1 classes and 8 KS2 classes.

The catchment area consists of a mixed community of private and council housing and there is very good liaison with the parents and community who contribute to the school by helping with many activities. Parents show a keen interest in their children’s education and are very supportive of the school.

Our children are very appreciative of all that is done for them and they enjoy positive relationships with staff. Each class has Teaching Assistant support and teachers are well supported by an admin team.

The school is set in extensive grounds, including a forest school area and benefits from very good internal facilities including two computer suites, two halls and two dining rooms; all classrooms have interactive touchscreens. Staff work co-operatively and are very supportive of each other.

Northfield is part of a Collaboration of Schools with six other local schools. The collaboration is designed to share and strengthen practice across the schools.
