Check the area around this school
8th of 73 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 74 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 — 9.5/10 against 3,700 of them, against 9.2/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 32.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
The report describes a school where staff create a "safe and happy place" underpinned by strong values. Leaders demonstrate a "strong moral purpose," resulting in high-quality pastoral care and exceptional personal development for pupils. The school is judged to be Good overall, with Outstanding provision in personal development and early years.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "ambitious curriculums" in subjects like mathematics and history, where learning is "logically stepped" to build on previous knowledge.
- Reading is a clear priority; staff teach early reading "consistently and effectively," fostering a "love of reading" and ensuring pupils become fluent readers.
- The early years provision is "excellent," with staff forming positive relationships and setting high expectations that children meet quickly.
- Staff support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "very well," engaging with specialists to ensure "rapid and deep learning."

Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure that "parts of the science curriculum and some foundation subject curriculums" are as ambitious as others, so pupils are "consistently challenged" in all aspects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders taking appropriate steps to keep pupils safe and working with external agencies when needed.
