Check the area around this school
130th 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 3,775 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 4.1/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 41% | 1.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 26% | 1.30 |
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 Ravenshead CofE Primary School
Overview
The report describes Ravenshead CofE Primary School as a “nurturing school” where “relationships are positive” and pupils enjoy their education. Inspectors found that leaders are “ambitious for pupils to do well” and that the governing body provides “effective challenge and support.” The school is held in “high regard by parents and carers,” who praise the “lovely, nurturing, professional environment.”
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a “broad and well-planned curriculum” that helps them understand key concepts, with “phonics [taught] well” using consistent methods.
- “Behaviour around school and in lessons is positive,” with bullying being “extremely rare” and pupils knowing how to seek help.
- “Children get off to a good start in early years,” where the curriculum is “well planned and sequenced” and tailored to interests.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported” by adults providing “well-tailored help.”
- Staff are valued, with leaders being “considerate of their workload and well-being,” and pupils are “well prepared for life in modern Britain.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is embedded and refined so pupils “consistently remember what they have learned across all subjects.”
- The curriculum for “reading beyond phonics is not yet fully sequenced,” requiring leaders to ensure it is “well planned and sequenced.”
- Safeguarding records are not stored systematically enough, meaning leaders cannot retrieve information as quickly as they should.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” though leaders must ensure records are stored systematically to allow quicker retrieval of information.
