Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Strong standard Mixed Primary
8.5/10 Well above average

8th 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 3,389 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.3/10 among them, against 8.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 80.0 · 88 40% 3.51

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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.3 out of 10 among them, against 8.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Magical Maths, Spanish Club, Clay Creators, French Club, Score Football, Rattle and Roll, and Street Dance Club. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 350 pupils in a building with 340 places, meaning it is over capacity by 10. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new requests? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects?
