About Church Vale Primary School and Foundation Unit

Church Vale Primary School and Foundation Unit sits in the bottom half of Nottinghamshire primary schools when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 36 on this metric places it 202nd out of 286 schools of the same type in the local authority, well below the LA average of 61. In Mansfield specifically, the school ranks 25th out of 27 primary schools, putting it in the bottom 10% of its immediate area. These headline figures suggest a school that faces significant challenges in driving academic attainment to match local norms, though the context of its intake is important to understand.
