About Crossdale Primary School

Crossdale Primary School sits within Nottinghamshire’s Rushcliffe borough, a corner of the East Midlands with a strong primary sector. Among the 32 primary schools in Rushcliffe, Crossdale ranks 10th by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — comfortably in the top third locally. Its ranking score of 76 places it in the top 25% of primaries nationally, though it sits behind the three highest-scoring peers in the local authority: John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy and Bunny CofE Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 5 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery provision. Headteacher P Cresswell leads a relatively small school of 190 pupils, well within its capacity of 210. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in December 2024, the school maintained its Good rating, with personal development judged Outstanding — a notable strength that parents also highlight strongly in survey responses.
