About Brocklewood Primary and Nursery School

Brocklewood Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham was rated Good overall in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating. The school has held a Good rating across both its most recent graded and ungraded inspections, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Good. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more challenging story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 31% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is well below the Nottingham local authority average of 60% and places the school 71st out of 72 primary schools in the area. Individual subject results show 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, 56% in maths, and 41% in writing, while the proportion achieving the higher standard was low across all three subjects.
