About Arnold Mill Primary and Nursery School
Arnold Mill Primary and Nursery School’s most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall, a solid result that places it in the majority of Nottinghamshire primaries — only 14 out of 286 schools in the local authority hold an Outstanding rating. However, the school’s previous inspection in 2014 awarded it Outstanding across the board, including for early years provision, leadership, and overall effectiveness. That means the 2020 inspection represents a step down, though the school still performs well against the local authority average for Key Stage 2. Nottinghamshire’s average KS2 attainment sits at 61, and while Arnold Mill’s exact score isn’t in the data, its Good rating suggests it is broadly in line with or slightly above that benchmark. The school’s early years provision, now rated Good, was previously Outstanding, so families with younger children may want to look closely at how the nursery has developed since the change.
