Brinsley Primary and Nursery School
About Brinsley Primary and Nursery School
Brinsley Primary and Nursery School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Nottinghamshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61%, Brinsley’s figure is 54%. That places it 154th out of 286 primary schools in the county, and 20th out of 25 schools in the Broxtowe borough. Nationally, it falls in the bottom 50% of schools on this metric. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. Reading and maths both score well above the national average of 100, with average scaled scores of 105 each. And 81% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, compared with 77% in maths and 69% in writing. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, suggests a solid foundation, even if the headline combined figure lags behind the local norm.
