Greenwood Primary and Nursery School
About Greenwood Primary and Nursery School
Greenwood Primary and Nursery School sits within Nottinghamshire local authority, in the Ashfield borough, and ranks 20th out of 30 primary schools in that immediate area. That puts it in the bottom half of Ashfield primaries, but the picture is more nuanced when you zoom out: across the whole of Nottinghamshire, it ranks 145th out of 286 same-type schools, placing it just above the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the county are John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy and Bunny CofE Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Mapplewells Primary and Nursery School, about two kilometres away. Greenwood itself was last inspected in June 2025 and received a Good overall, though the inspection was a graded one and the overall effectiveness was marked as 'Not judged' — a technicality that means the school hasn't yet been formally reassigned a final grade under the current framework.
