Check the area around this school
78th 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 4,296 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.8/10 among them, against 6.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 87.0 · 96 | 41% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Leaders have prioritised a broad curriculum and strong pastoral care, resulting in positive feedback from parents and staff. The inspection confirms that the school maintains high standards in behaviour, reading, and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils value their relationships, describing the school as a ‘family’ where ‘everyone belongs’.
- Behaviour is excellent, with pupils following the ‘Wynndale Way’ to ‘be ready, be respectful, be safe, be kind’.
- Reading is taught well, with teachers instilling a ‘love of reading’ through daily ‘star reading’ sessions.
- Phonics teaching is effective, ensuring pupils read accurately with books matching the sounds they are learning.
- Mathematics is ‘skilfully taught’, using small steps and regular practice to build confidence.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive effective support to access the same knowledge as their peers.
Areas to improve

Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders and staff having a clear understanding of their responsibilities and working well with other agencies to support pupils and families.
