Carnarvon Primary School
About Carnarvon Primary School
Carnarvon Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the Nottinghamshire local authority average, marking it as a solidly above-average performer in its area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 61%, Carnarvon achieves 71% — a ten-percentage-point lead. That gap is consistent across individual subjects too: 81% of pupils meet the expected standard in reading (against a typical LA figure that would be lower), 74% in maths, and 89% in writing. At the higher standard, 13% of pupils reach that top tier across all three subjects, with reading particularly strong at 44% achieving the higher mark. The school’s average scaled scores of 107 in reading and 106 in maths are both above the national benchmark of 100. In the Rushcliffe local authority ranking, Carnarvon sits 17th out of 32 primary schools, placing it just above the median in a competitive area.
