Church Vale Primary School and Foundation Unit
Mansfield, NG20 0TE · Nottinghamshire · primary school
111st 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 — 6.1/10 against 1,973 of them, against 5.0/10 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% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a Key Worker Club and participate in tag rugby, multi-sports sessions, racket sports, gymnastics, athletics, netball, football, and golf. Trips include the Jingle Jog and Rugby Inspire Megafest. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 219 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 17 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 17 places remaining, how quickly do new starters integrate into existing class groups? Since the last inspection was in 2023, what specific improvements have been made to raise the 3.0% achieving the higher standard? How does the after-school club support pupils who need extra help with homework?
