Check the area around this school
210th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,685 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.83 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.27 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Greasley Beauvale Primary and Nursery School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils feel "valued, cared for, and happy" within a "calm, nurturing and friendly environment." Leaders have established a "positive, safe and respectful culture" with high expectations for behaviour and attendance. While safeguarding standards are met and early years provision is strong, the report notes that "too few pupils are achieving the standards of which they are capable" by the end of Year 6, particularly in writing and mathematics problem-solving.
Strengths
- Attendance is high due to a "multi-pronged approach" and strong relationships with families.
- The curriculum is "well designed" with "secure subject knowledge" among teachers, leading to effective early reading instruction.
- Inclusion is a priority, with "timely support" for vulnerable pupils and those with special educational needs.
- Personal development is "well-thought-out," helping pupils understand relationships, mental health, and diversity.
- Staff are supported with effective professional learning, and governors provide "effective challenge and support."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the new writing curriculum is implemented consistently, particularly regarding handwriting, to match the quality of other subjects.
- Pupils’ learning needs to be "consistently highly ambitious" with access to more challenging activities to maximise achievement.
- Mathematics teaching must better develop pupils’ "problem-solving and reasoning skills" to improve outcomes.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" ensuring pupils are made safer and feel safe.
