About Cuckney CofE Primary School

Cuckney CofE Primary School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently across its last two inspections. The most telling exam metric for this small Church of England primary in Bassetlaw is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: just 36% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That is significantly below the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Bassetlaw, where it ranks 37th out of 44. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. While 68% of pupils met the expected standard in writing and 59% in reading, only 45% did so in maths. The average scaled scores tell a similar story: 102 in reading and 101 in maths, both just above the national baseline of 100, but not enough to lift the combined figure.
