About Foxfield Primary School

As a partnership of schools we are better able to support our students, we strongly believe in the power of collaboration and continually work together to find innovative ways of working.

Comments from our Outstanding 2023 OFSTED Inspection include:
Foxfield gives pupils an experience that goes well beyond the ordinary. It sets the highest academic and personal standards, with a clear focus on helping pupils to become thoughtful, independent young people.
Pupils are highly respectful of others, and their behaviour is impeccable. They know that behaving well is more than just obeying the rules but also about adhering to important values, such as tolerance and open-mindedness. This is amply illustrated by pupils, who comment that they ‘don’t look at the person’ but ‘at their hearts’
Pupils’ personal development is promoted very successfully through a wide range of initiatives. These include before- and after-school clubs and many opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. For example, the junior leadership team has helped to improve the playground.
