Check the area around this school
219th 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 — 0.9/10 against 677 of them, against 0.8/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 62% | 0.41 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Eastlands Junior School (Welbeck Federation of Schools)
Overview
The inspection found that while pupils are happy, feel safe, and behave well, the quality of education and leadership require improvement. The curriculum is ambitious but not always delivered consistently, leading to gaps in learning and lower achievement for some pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils report feeling happy and safe, with staff providing support for worries and praise for achievements.
- Behaviour is good, with most pupils meeting high expectations and understanding fair rewards and sanctions.
- Personal development is strong, with pupils learning about healthy relationships, physical and mental well-being, and treating others with respect.
- Attendance is improving, and pupils recognise the importance of attending school regularly.
- Staff enjoy working at the school and have access to professional development opportunities.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is not implemented consistently; tasks do not always match intended learning, resulting in gaps in pupils’ knowledge and achievement.
- Strategies to support pupils with SEND are not routinely implemented, meaning some do not receive the necessary support to build independence.
- Approaches to developing reading fluency are inconsistent, with early readers lacking effective opportunities to practise their skills.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
