Check the area around this school
106th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.7/10 against 2,740 of them, against 5.1/10 nationally. 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Annesley Primary and Nursery School
Overview
Annesley Primary and Nursery School continues to be a good school, offering a welcoming environment where pupils behave well and feel safe. Leaders have created a broad and rich curriculum with high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy attending, are polite, and know they can speak to staff if they have worries.
- The curriculum is broad and rich, with leaders identifying key knowledge for pupils to learn and remember.
- Early reading is taught consistently with well-matched books, helping pupils become fluent and independent readers.
- Mathematics is carefully planned and well-sequenced, allowing pupils to build on existing knowledge.
- Staff support pupils with SEND effectively by adapting teaching methods and regularly checking progress.
Areas to improve
- New subject leaders need training and time to monitor the impact of the curriculum on pupils’ learning effectively.
- Leaders must strengthen work with parents and carers to ensure pupils attend school regularly, as current absence levels are too high.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with clear systems to record concerns, well-trained staff, and close collaboration with external agencies to support pupils and families.
