About Abbey Primary School

Abbey Primary School in Mansfield holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in April 2025 found that it had 'Improved significantly' since its previous graded inspection in 2015, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good.
