3.1/10 Below average

180th 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 the 4,349 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1 out of 10 among them, against 4.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cooking Club. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 90 pupils in a school with 140 places, leaving 50 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the expected standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do teachers manage class sizes given the significant number of spare places?
