About Everton Primary School
Everton Primary School sits well above the Nottinghamshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 61%. That 12-point gap places the school in the top 25% nationally for this measure, and within Bassetlaw it ranks 9th out of 44 primary schools. The school is also oversubscribed: for its 9 Reception places in 2025/26, it received 25 applications, all 9 of which were first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.78. This suggests strong local demand for a school that, on paper, is delivering above-average academic outcomes for its community.
Digging into the detail, the school’s strongest subject at Key Stage 2 is reading, where 91% of pupils met the expected standard and 36% achieved the higher standard — a notably high figure for a primary of this size. In maths, 82% reached the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 105, while writing matched maths at 82% expected. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 9%, which is modest but consistent with the school’s overall profile. Ofsted inspected the school in April 2023 and rated it Good across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The previous inspection in 2013 also awarded Good, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over a decade.
The school is at full capacity with 105 pupils, and its small size means families can expect a close-knit environment. Facilities include a sports hall, library, ICT suite, sensory room and an outdoor playground, plus a chapel on site. Sports on offer include football, tennis, cricket and cross country, and there are clubs such as chess, film club and choir. The school has identified SEND provisions for social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulties or disabilities. With nursery provision available from age 3, this is a well-regarded village primary that suits families prioritising strong core academic results, a broad range of activities, and a school that is clearly popular enough to be oversubscribed.
