About Cantrell Primary and Nursery School

Cantrell Primary and Nursery School sits within the Nottingham local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. Among the 74 primary schools in the same LA, it is not among the top-ranked peers; the highest-rated nearby schools include St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Edna G. Olds Academy, and South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is St Teresa's, 3.7 kilometres away. Cantrell's most recent Ofsted inspection, conducted in March 2024 and published in May of that year, rated the school Inadequate overall, a significant drop from its previous Good rating in 2019. Leadership and management were also judged Inadequate, while the quality of education, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all received Requires improvement. The early years provision, however, retained a Good rating, suggesting a stronger start for the youngest children. This inspection outcome places the school in a challenging position within its local landscape, particularly as only six of the 74 primaries in Nottingham currently hold an Outstanding rating.
