Check the area around this school
164th 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 — 2.4/10 against 2,959 of them, against 2.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| 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.
Edgewood Primary and Nursery School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 0.0%, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025.

What Ofsted said about Edgewood Primary and Nursery School
Overview
Edgewood Primary and Nursery School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a “calm and purposeful environment” where pupils are “happy and enjoy attending the school.” Leaders have created a setting where children feel safe, supported, and ambitious, with high attendance and strong parental appreciation for staff dedication.
Strengths
- The early years provision is “highly effective,” with skilled staff designing activities that leave children “well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
- Pupils benefit from a strong approach to early reading and phonics, receiving extra support when they fall behind to ensure they “catch up.”
- Behaviour is good, with staff consistently reinforcing school values; pupils behave well and have “very good attitudes to their learning.”
- Personal development is strong, with pupils demonstrating a good understanding of British values and knowing that prejudice “would not be tolerated here.”
- The needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “well met” through specialist teaching and clear learning goals.
Areas to improve
- In some lessons, learning activities do not meet the needs of all pupils, resulting in tasks that are either “too hard” or insufficiently challenging.
- In a minority of subjects, the curriculum’s essential knowledge is not defined well enough, meaning pupils are not learning the required knowledge and skills in every subject.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
