About Bunny CofE Primary School
Bunny CofE Primary School punches well above the Nottinghamshire average for its type. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 sits at 61%, Bunny achieves a striking 91%. That gap of 30 percentage points is significant and places the school third out of 286 primary schools in the county. Its ranking score of 91 puts it just behind Harworth CofE Academy and John Blow Primary School, but within the top five in Rushcliffe. The school also performs strongly on higher standards: 9% of pupils reach the higher benchmark in all three subjects, and average scaled scores in reading and maths both hit 110. For a small village primary with just 108 pupils, these outcomes suggest a focused, academically effective environment.
The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2013, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that the school remains Good. The previous inspection, back in 2008, also rated it Good, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time. At Key Stage 2, 91% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths individually, and 45% achieved the higher standard in maths. Progress scores are not available in the data, but the attainment figures are well above the local norm. The school has no sixth form, as it is a primary, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
Bunny CofE Primary is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26, it received 59 applications for just 9 places, a ratio of over 6.5 to one, and all first-preference applicants were offered places. The school’s facilities include a sports hall, playing fields, a forest school, a sensory room, and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England character. Sports on offer include tennis, netball, swimming and cricket, while clubs range from drama and choir to gardening and eco club. The school has identified SEND provisions for moderate learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a small, high-performing village school that suits families who value strong academic results in a close-knit setting and are prepared for a competitive admissions process.
