About Gateford Park Primary School

Gateford Park Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection, in January 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged as Good. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the key metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, 61% of Gateford Park’s Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark, which is exactly in line with the Nottinghamshire local authority average for primary schools. This places the school 16th out of 44 primary schools in the Bassetlaw area, putting it in the top half locally. Nationally, it ranks in the 54th percentile among all state primary schools, a solidly middle-of-the-road performance that reflects consistent, if not exceptional, outcomes.
