Whipman Woods Flying High Academy
Worksop, S81 7FT · Nottinghamshire · primary school
2nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 4,249 of them, against 9.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 62% | 5.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 33.0 · 99 | 38% | 3.81 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 33.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools). No recent Ofsted inspection is recorded.
Getting in. The school has 111 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 125 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 do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects? What does a typical day look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school plan to engage families given the lack of a recent inspection report?
