Check the area around this school
74th 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 2,793 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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 Heymann Primary and Nursery School
Overview
Heymann Primary and Nursery School is described as a welcoming community where pupils are “known exceptionally well” and relationships are built on “kindness and respect.” The school delivers an “ambitious, broad and balanced” curriculum with “Outstanding” behaviour and personal development, ensuring pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- Pupils display “exemplary behaviour,” contributing to a “calm and purposeful learning environment” and striving to earn rewards.
- The curriculum is “logically sequenced,” with staff routinely checking prior learning to address misconceptions and gaps quickly.

- Personal development is “exceptional,” offering meaningful opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills and become “responsible citizens.”
- Staff receive regular training and appreciate that leaders are “approable,” creating a positive workplace culture.
Areas to improve
- Monitoring activities are not fully effective, as leaders do not consistently draw together gathered information to identify areas for further curriculum development.
- In a small number of subjects, pupils’ written work in the wider curriculum does not match the high quality seen in English.
Safeguarding
