About Butler's Hill Infant and Nursery School

Butler's Hill Infant and Nursery School serves children from age 3 to 7 in Ashfield, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2010. The school's leadership and management also earned a Good grade. However, when it comes to headline academic metrics, the picture is less clear-cut. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment in Nottinghamshire primary schools is 61, but Butler's Hill is an infant school whose pupils leave before reaching KS2, so no direct comparison is available. This means parents considering this school should look beyond raw scores and focus on the progress children make in the early years. The school's nursery provision is a notable feature, offering a full three-year journey from nursery through to Year 2, which can provide continuity for young families.
