Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
1.6/10 Well below average

71st of 74 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 75 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.6/10 against 572 of them, against 1.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access swimming lessons and a breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 219 pupils in a capacity of 220, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in core subjects? What are the specific arrangements for children who need care after the school day ends? How does the academy manage the competitive nature of admissions for the single remaining place?
