About Edgewood Primary and Nursery School

Edgewood Primary and Nursery School in Ashfield was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a clear improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 69% of pupils reached that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places Edgewood comfortably above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61% for primary schools, and ranks it 10th out of 30 schools in Ashfield. In the East Midlands region, it sits in the top third of all primary schools, and nationally it ranks 4,580 out of 13,686. The school also achieved above-average scaled scores in maths (106) and reading (105), with 84% of pupils meeting the expected standard in maths and writing.
