About Brookside Primary School

Brookside Primary School sits comfortably above the Nottinghamshire local authority average when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61 per cent, but at Brookside that figure stands at 80 per cent. That gap of 19 percentage points is a significant one, and it places the school 21st out of 286 primary schools in the county. In the Rushcliffe borough specifically, Brookside ranks 6th out of 32 schools, putting it in the top 25 per cent nationally by this measure. The school's performance is not just about hitting the expected standard either — 15 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and in maths alone over half of pupils (51 per cent) reached the higher threshold. Reading and writing also saw strong higher-level results, with 34 per cent and 27 per cent respectively.
