Nottingham, NG6 8AX · Nottingham · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
3.2/10 Below average

59th of 74 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 75 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 — 3.7/10 against 259 of them, against 2.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club, learn swimming, and attend a Year 5 residential trip.

Getting in. The school has 358 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 122 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What provisions are available for children who need care after the school day ends? How does the school maintain engagement for pupils in classes that are significantly below capacity?
