Check the area around this school
110th 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 — 5.1/10 against 3,300 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| 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 Coppice Farm Primary School
Overview
Coppice Farm Primary School continues to be a good school, described by pupils and parents as a ‘friendly place to be’. The report highlights a calm, purposeful environment where relationships are respectful and pupils feel safe and supported.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, with ‘high expectations of behaviour’ that they respond to positively.
- Staff ‘take time to clearly explain concepts and model learning’, helping pupils grasp new ideas quickly.
- Reading is a high priority, with a ‘consistent approach to the teaching of phonics’ from the early years.
- Pupils enjoy a ‘wide range of experiences’, including clubs and visits from experts on diverse cultures.
- The school promotes personal development well, ensuring pupils are ‘well prepared for life in modern Britain’.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is not always adapted well enough; the school must ensure staff have the expertise to support all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
- Expectations of attendance are not high enough; robust strategies are needed to reduce the number of pupils who are ‘often absent from school’.
- Communication between stakeholders is not as effective as it could be, leading to missed information; systems must be strengthened.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
