Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
3.9/10 Broadly average

157th 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 — 3.6/10 against 2,314 of them, against 3.2/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 60.0 · 39 40% 1.56
Ofsted 52 35% 1.82

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
