23rd of 73 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 74 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 — 7.3/10 against 1,329 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Djanogly Northgate Academy
Overview
Djanogly Northgate Academy continues to be a "good school," described as "vibrant and diverse" where pupils are "happy and enjoy their learning." Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and have created a curriculum that is "broad and interesting," with a strong emphasis on reading and support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well sequenced" and includes "links to the community," helping pupils use "good vocabulary" to discuss their learning.
- Leaders have "prioritised reading," providing a clear sequence of lessons and a large selection of books linked to themes like "Diversity, Democracy, Well-being and Sustainability."
- There is "good support for pupils with SEND," who have the "same learning opportunities as their peers" and "achieve well."
- Safeguarding arrangements are "effective," with leaders maintaining a "vigilant safeguarding culture" and ensuring staff are well trained.
- Pupils take pride in leadership roles, such as "pupil action groups," and feel safe, knowing they can "speak to an adult about their worries."
Areas to improve
- Attendance is improving, but "too many pupils do not attend school regularly enough"; leaders should review strategies to ensure they have the "intended impact."
- In some lessons, teachers do not always deliver the curriculum well enough, meaning pupils do not always remember what they have learned; leaders must ensure all teachers deliver the curriculum "consistently well."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that leaders maintain a "vigilant safeguarding culture" and work closely with parents to identify help for families.
