About Carr Hill Primary and Nursery School

Carr Hill Primary and Nursery School in Bassetlaw holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2022, an upgrade from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. However, the school's academic outcomes present a more challenging picture. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 27% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 61%. This places the school 43rd out of 44 primary schools in Bassetlaw on this metric, putting it in the bottom 2% nationally. The school's ranking score of 27 out of 100 places it in the bottom 50 tier nationally, and 214th out of 286 primary schools in Nottinghamshire. For context, the top-performing school in the local authority, John Blow Primary School, scores 100.
