About Djanogly Sherwood Academy

Djanogly Sherwood Academy sits comfortably above the local authority average for primary schools in Nottingham, with 65% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with the LA average of 60%. That five-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent teaching, and it places the school 26th out of 74 primaries in the city — roughly in the top third. The school’s ranking score of 65 also puts it in the top 50% nationally, which is a respectable position given that over 40% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. What stands out is that the school achieves this without relying on selective admissions or a faith-based intake; it’s a genuinely inclusive community school delivering results that outpace its immediate peers.
