Gilthill Primary School
About Gilthill Primary School
Gilthill Primary School sits comfortably above the Nottinghamshire local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 74% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 61%. That 13-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school fifth out of 25 primary schools in Broxtowe, putting it in the top 20% of its immediate borough. Nationally, Gilthill ranks in the top 22% of all primary schools, which is a strong showing for a relatively small state school with 205 pupils. The school’s Progress 8 scores aren’t available in the data, but the headline attainment figures suggest pupils are leaving key stage 2 well prepared. The school is also oversubscribed — 151 families applied for 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 41 of those listing it as their first preference, which tells you local parents clearly see it as a solid option.
