Abbey Primary School
Mansfield, NG19 0AB · Nottinghamshire · primary school
73rd of 229 primary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score, 286 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.9/10 against 3,861 of them, against 6.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in sportshall athletics, sports day, cross country, swimming galas, and bake-offs. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 458 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 38. Places are therefore competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics for 458 children in a 420-place building? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the school handle the lack of wraparound care for families needing early or late drop-off?
