Check the area around this school
123rd 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 — 7.9/10 against 2,651 of them, against 7.0/10 nationally. 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 41% | 3.16 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 34% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.45 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
