Wallace Fields Infant School is a heavily over subscribed two form entry school in a socially advantaged area. Very few children are entitled to free school meals and the proportion of children from minority ethnic backgrounds is broadly in line with the national average but very few are at an early stage of learning English. Although the percentage of children with learning difficulties and disabilities is broadly in line with the national average, at present none have a statement of special educational need. The school has achieved the Eco Schools bronze award, Partnership with Parents award, and Investors in People in 2001, 2004 and 2006.
