Kirkby Woodhouse School
Nottingham, NG17 9EU · Nottinghamshire · primary school
97th 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 — 5.8/10 against 3,672 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council and take year-specific trips to Ashbourne, Norfolk, Robin Hood, Walesby, White Post Farm, and York. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 405 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 15 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need care before or after the standard school day? What specific support is available for the 6.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the school manage entry when demand exceeds the 15 remaining places?
