Check the area around this school
72nd 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 — 6.7/10 against 3,211 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 62% | 4.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 38% | 1.95 |
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 Bingham Primary School
Overview
Bingham Primary School is described as a "caring and happy school" where pupils are "highly motivated" and achieve well across the curriculum. The inspection highlights an "ambitious curriculum" designed with care, strong leadership support from the trust, and a positive culture where staff feel valued and pupils demonstrate high levels of respect.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "crafted with care" to ensure knowledge builds "gradually over time" in a logical order.
- Reading is "at the heart of the curriculum," with staff acting as "early reading experts" who provide effective support for those falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are swiftly identified and supported to "access the same learning as their peers."
- Behaviour is "excellent" and attitudes are positive, with pupils arriving "ready to learn" and listening attentively.
- Leaders prioritise staff well-being, ensuring staff feel "valued" and appreciate efforts to consider workload.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not consistently provide opportunities for pupils to "apply the knowledge they have acquired," meaning understanding sometimes remains limited to facts rather than deepening.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
