Lowdham CofE Primary School
Nottingham, NG14 7BE · Nottinghamshire · primary school
7th 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 2,601 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5/10 among them, against 8.4/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5 out of 10 among them, against 8.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Art Club, Choir, Sewing, and a nature activity club, alongside sports including archery, basketball, and cricket. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. With 206 pupils in a school with 210 places, there are only 4 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils needing help with homework outside of the dedicated club? What are the specific arrangements for children who arrive before the school day starts, given there is no breakfast club? How does the school maintain its high standards while managing a near-full capacity?
