Check the area around this school
16th 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 — 9.2/10 against 3,697 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 4.01 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.10 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
Bunny CofE Primary School is described as a "warm and welcoming learning community" where pupils are "kind, respectful and well behaved." The report confirms that the school "continues to be a good school," highlighting strong relationships, a well-planned curriculum in most areas, and effective support for pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils feel "safe and well cared for," with bullying being "very rare" and a supportive culture where children "look out for each other."
- The curriculum is "well planned and sequenced" in most subjects, helping teachers build on key knowledge from Nursery to Year 6.

- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive timely support, allowing them to access the full curriculum and become "confident readers."
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, assessment is at an "early stage of development" and does not help teachers check closely what pupils know and remember; leaders should ensure consistent use across all subjects.
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not clearly outline the most important content; leaders should ensure all subjects specify the key knowledge pupils are expected to know from early years to Year 6.
