Windmill Primary School in short

Windmill Primary School is a Brookside academy in the Community Academies Trust, and Ofsted records a Good outcome from the September 2022 inspection, the only report on the register. The website offers a two-minute video introduction with admissions pages, which gives parents a first picture of the school before a visit. The school takes just over three hundred pupils aged three to eleven.

No public review scores are on record for Windmill Primary School across the sources we hold, so families judge it on the inspection record and the video rather than on reviews. In our view the trust backing is reassuring and the thin website is what counts against the school, with no fee or insurance detail published either.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Windmill suits you if you want an academy primary in Brookside with trust backing and a Good first inspection [2] [1]. What counts against it is the absence of public review scores, a thin website and no published insurance or fee details [1]. The September 2022 inspection is the latest word on standards [2].
