About Crabtree Farm Primary School

Crabtree Farm Primary School sits in a mixed position relative to the Nottingham local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, and Crabtree Farm’s figure of 57% is just three points below that benchmark. That places the school 44th out of 72 primary schools in the authority, putting it in the bottom half of the local table. However, the picture is not uniformly behind the curve. In reading, 74% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 105 is a solid result. Maths also holds up reasonably well, with 65% reaching the expected standard and an average score of 103. The real challenge is at the higher end: only 4% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, compared with 17% in maths alone and 26% in reading. For a school with 62.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results reflect a genuine effort to secure core skills, even if the headline combined figure lags the LA average.
