Check the area around this school
39th of 73 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 74 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 — 5.1/10 against 2,289 of them, against 4.3/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Berridge Primary and Nursery School
Overview
Berridge Primary and Nursery School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The school fosters a culture of mutual respect, where pupils are exceptionally polite and demonstrate high levels of self-motivation. Leaders have reviewed the curriculum to ensure clear sequencing of knowledge, particularly in subjects like art and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils develop ‘very positive attitudes to learning’ and show sensitivity towards the diverse faiths and cultures represented in the school.
- There is a strong focus on securing basics, with staff well trained in phonics; most pupils become ‘confident readers’ and independent writers.
- The early years provision is thorough, with staff having ‘meticulous knowledge’ of children’s next steps and supporting communication and numeracy through play.
- Strategies to improve attendance are having a ‘positive impact’, reducing time lost due to extended family leave.
- Governors provide appropriate challenge and support, and the majority of parents and carers ‘praise the school highly’.
Areas to improve
- Learning is not always adapted well enough for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), meaning they do not always learn as well as they should.
- A small minority of staff feel their views are not considered carefully enough during changes, affecting morale; the school must ensure all staff understand their role in further development.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
