2.7/10 Below average

196th 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.

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 2022/23, 33.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 62%. The same 33.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in May 2026.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Slate Farm Wilderness Forest School for trips. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. With 20 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 56 places, there are 36 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between the 33.0% attainment rate and the national median of 62%? What specific actions are being taken following the May 2026 inspection? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
