The Brunts Academy
Mansfield, NG18 2AT · Nottinghamshire · secondary school
20th of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score. 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 — 4.5/10 against 834 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 86 | 35% | 2.99 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 43.9 · 50 | 30% | 1.50 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.41 · 20 | 25% | 0.50 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.5 · 49 | 10% | 0.49 |
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. The school was inspected in 2026-03 and rated Requires improvement. In 2024/25, 43.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.41 in 2023/24, meaning pupils made less progress than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Nottingham Forest Community Trust and Derby County FC training events.
Getting in. There are 1397 pupils in a school with 1599 places, leaving 202 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are making less progress than their starting point suggests? What specific actions are being taken to address the Requires improvement rating? How do the football training events fit into the wider curriculum?
