About Awsworth Primary and Nursery School

Awsworth Primary and Nursery School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the Nottinghamshire local authority average, but the gap is narrow. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 56%, compared with the LA average of 61%. That five-point difference places Awsworth in the bottom half of primary schools within Broxtowe, where it ranks 18th out of 25. Nationally, it sits around the 66th percentile, meaning roughly a third of schools nationally achieve a lower combined score. Where the school does notably better than the LA norm is in individual subjects: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 80% did so in writing. Maths is the weaker spot, with 58% at the expected level and only 9% reaching the higher standard. The school’s overall ranking score of 56 reflects this mixed picture — solid in literacy, but with room to improve in maths.
