Sir John Sherbrooke Junior School
Nottingham, NG14 6JZ · Nottinghamshire · primary school
173rd 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 — 2.4/10 against 1,929 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.4 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently name any specific clubs, sports, or arts activities.
Getting in. There are 194 pupils in a school with 198 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school handle waiting lists for new starters? Since the latest inspection was in May 2025, what specific improvements have been made since then? How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard in core subjects?
