What the figures show

In 2024/25, 80% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (England 62%), and 10% reached the higher standard (England 8%).
That 2024/25 figure of 80% was the highest of 8 schools: this one and the 7 of the 8 nearest primary schools in Nottinghamshire that have results.
For Reception in 2026 the last child offered a place lived 2.474 miles away, further than in 2025; the move from 2025 to 2026 was the sharpest swing between years.
At the 2026 Reception entry there were 25 first-choice applications for 27 offers; every first-choice family was offered a place, and 2 offers went to families who ranked it second or lower.
