Check the area around this school
39th 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 — 6.7/10 against 4,298 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 62% | 4.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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 St Wilfrid's CofE Primary School
Overview
Pupils at St Wilfrid’s CofE Primary School “enjoy life” and feel safe, supported by “caring staff” and strong parental engagement. The school is praised for its “exceptional” personal development programme and “meticulously designed” early years curriculum, which prepares children well for future stages. While the overall quality of education is good, the report highlights specific inconsistencies in how learning activities are focused and how understanding is checked in key stages 1 and 2.
Strengths
- Personal development is “exceptional”, with pupils developing “mature attitudes to spirituality, diversity and equality” and gaining valuable leadership skills.
- Early years provision is outstanding, with “expert staff” who are “attentive to their needs and interests” in a “well-resourced learning environment”.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; children demonstrate “high levels of concentration” in phonics and gain fluency through carefully matched books.
- Staff have “excellent subject knowledge” and encourage pupils to make links between new learning and previous knowledge.
- The new leadership has had a “positive impact on the morale of staff”, described as “a breath of fresh air”.
Areas to improve
- Ensure learning activities in key stages 1 and 2 focus “sharply enough on the important knowledge” identified in the curriculum to secure pupil learning.
- Implement systematic checks on pupils’ understanding to identify and address “misconceptions or gaps in pupils’ knowledge” more swiftly.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
