Mansfield Woodhouse, NG19 9JU · Nottinghamshire · primary school

Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary Church of England
3.7/10 Broadly average

162nd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.9/10 against 2,829 of them, against 5.3/10 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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access 776 Gymnastics, Cuckney Cricket Club, Hart of Sherwood Archery Club, Kixx Football Academy, Mansfield Harriers Athletics Club, Mansfield Hockey Club, Mansfield Karate Club, Mansfield Lawn Tennis Club, and Excelsior Dance Studio. Year 6 pupils visit Newstead Abbey. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 238 pupils against a capacity of 218 places, meaning it is over capacity by 20. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new requests? How does the curriculum support the 7.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? What specific support is available for children who do not meet the expected standard?
