The Glapton Academy
Nottingham, NG11 8EA · Nottingham · primary school
13th of 74 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 75 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 — 8.0/10 against 2,771 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Sports include football, cricket, basketball, and winter sports, while gymnastics is offered as an arts and music activity.
Getting in. The school has 301 pupils in a capacity of 330, leaving 29 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the winter sports programme? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum?
