Check the area around this school
4th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.6/10 against 4,250 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 62% | 5.57 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 38% | 2.98 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The higher standard was reached by 13.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Haydn Primary School
Overview
Pupils “flourish at this vibrant, happy school” within a “safe, caring ethos” that supports learning and development very well. The inspection highlights “excellent” behaviour and “Outstanding” personal development, with pupils achieving high standards in national tests. Leaders have successfully revised the curriculum to ensure ambitious outcomes for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils display “consistently positive behaviour,” being “polite and respectful” and attentive in lessons.
- The school promotes “wider personal development exceptionally well,” offering a “wide range of educational trips and activities” that broaden horizons.
- Children in the early years “settle quickly and make a very strong start” through well-designed learning activities.
- Staff provide “clear explanations” and “secure subject knowledge,” adapting teaching effectively, particularly in English and mathematics.
- There is a “systematic approach to teaching early reading and phonics,” ensuring pupils develop as “fluent, confident readers.”
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure “systematic checks on pupils’ knowledge and understanding are used effectively in all subjects,” as the current approach is not consistently strong across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
