Berry Hill Primary School
About Berry Hill Primary School
Berry Hill Primary School in Mansfield was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results tell a mixed story: 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is slightly below the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%. That places Berry Hill 16th out of 27 primary schools in Mansfield, and in the bottom half nationally. However, individual subject scores are stronger. In reading, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard and 41% achieved the higher standard, while in maths 78% met expectations and 19% reached the higher level. Average scaled scores were 106 in reading and 104 in maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. Writing was the weaker area, with 66% at expected and 14% at the higher standard. The school’s overall ranking score of 59 puts it in the bottom 50% of schools nationally, but within Mansfield it sits comfortably in the middle of the pack.
