Check the area around this school
20th of 73 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 74 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 — 7.7/10 against 1,144 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Warren Primary Academy
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this school, describing it as a ‘kind place’ where they feel safe and are keen to discuss their learning. Leaders aim to provide pupils with ‘limitless opportunities’, fostering a strong sense of community and high expectations for all students. The report notes that the school is ‘going from strength to strength’, with staff feeling supported and pupils demonstrating positive attitudes towards their education.
Strengths
- Teachers possess ‘good subject knowledge’ and adapt lessons to address misconceptions, helping pupils achieve well across many subjects.
- Early reading is a strength, with all staff acting as ‘early reading experts’ who intervene swiftly when pupils struggle, fostering a love for reading.
- The early years curriculum is ‘well planned’ and well-resourced, helping children become ‘confident and independent’.
- Pupils are ‘polite and respectful’, benefiting from consistent behaviour systems like the ‘three chance’ rule and recognition for good conduct.
- Staff well-being is prioritised, with leaders removing ‘unnecessary pressures’ so teachers can focus on educating pupils.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure new subject plans in a small number of foundation subjects are ‘as well embedded in the curriculum as all other subject plans’ to improve depth of knowledge.
- Targets for some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) must be made more ‘precise’ to help them achieve the best possible outcomes.
- Leaders must ensure attendance continues to improve for pupils who are ‘persistently absent’, so they benefit from the well-planned curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are ‘effective’, with staff receiving regular training and leaders engaging external agencies to support pupils when needed.
