Orchard Fields Community School
Orchard Fields Community School is a large primary school situated in Edmunds Road. The school was formerly two separate schools, Neithrop County Infants and Neithrop County Juniors. The latter was closed down in 2002 after it was judged by Ofsted to be failing.
Orchard Fields has 331 pupils in the 3–11 age range. The school also has a day care center, where children up to the age of 11 can go. The Headmistress used to be Maggie Twydell.
In September 2007 the school moved to a newly built site on Princess Diana park.
In 2003, the disused buildings of the former junior school were badly damaged in an arson attack.
