The site lies on the western side of the B680 Ruddington Lane, Wilford, around 1.3km south of Wilford village centre. The site consists of a former school and playing fields covering around 4 hectares. The site is surrounded by housing to the south and north and to the immediate north-east. To the west lies the A52. The surveyed site measured 4ha. The work consisted of the stripping of the area for the laying of roads and services. It also included the excavation of foundation trenches associated with new buildings. Although the site at the former Beckett School had some potential for archaeological remains and evidence for this was found during the 2011 evaluations, no archaeological remains were revealed during the watching brief.
