Farmilo Primary School and Nursery
About Farmilo Primary School and Nursery
Farmilo Primary School and Nursery holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a status it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013, with an ungraded visit in 2022 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this Mansfield primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 62 per cent. That figure sits just above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61 per cent, placing Farmilo in the middle of the pack nationally, at the 52nd percentile among 13,686 primaries. Within Mansfield itself, the school ranks 13th out of 27, a solidly mid-table position. The school’s individual subject scores paint a more nuanced picture: 81 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 79 per cent in reading, but writing lags at 69 per cent. At the higher standard, only 12 per cent achieved the combined benchmark, though 36 per cent hit the higher bar in reading alone.
