In short: a primary free school with a nursery.
Eduscope verdict
Popular and well run on paper, but the top grade is old and recent results are mixed.
The score is this school's rank out of 100. The area ratings below are an illustrative example, not this school's yet.
More first choices than places.
We don't hold an inspection for Airfield yet.
In 2026 every family who put Airfield first got a place.
Families list several schools, so this counts every family who listed it, not only those who put it first. 12 families put it first, and all of them got a place.
When there are more children than places, most schools give places in an order like this. Check the school's own policy.
Good to know: a place in the nursery doesn't guarantee a Reception place. You still need to apply.
If you don't get a place: you can appeal. In North Somerset, 2 of the 14 appeals heard for places from September 2025 succeeded. Across England, 15% did.

Yes, it has a nursery class. A nursery place doesn't guarantee a Reception place, so you still need to apply.
No, it doesn't have a religious character.
