Check the area around this school
166th 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 — 2.5/10 against 2,356 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| 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.

The school is rated ‘Good’ for overall effectiveness, with particular praise for its early years provision and the personal development offer tailored to pupils’ needs.
Strengths
- Pupils are polite, welcoming, and have high expectations of their own conduct, supporting peers when needed.
- Leaders promote a strong love of reading, with well-matched books and daily support for those requiring extra help.

- The curriculum helps pupils develop a rich understanding of diversity, tolerance, and respect for their own identity.
- Governors are ambitious for all pupils, ensuring statutory responsibilities are checked and values are central to leadership.
Areas to improve
