Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
7.2/10 Above average

33rd 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 3,795 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.8/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.8 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 214 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 4. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific strategies are in place to support pupil progress?
