Hallcroft Infant and Nursery School

About Hallcroft Infant and Nursery School

Hallcroft Infant and Nursery School, a state primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, serves children from age 3 to 7 and holds a Good Ofsted rating, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results (its pupils move on before that stage), the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 61, providing a benchmark for the area’s primary performance. What stands out is the school’s clear upward trajectory under headteacher Jo Cook: its most recent graded inspection in 2016 rated overall effectiveness as Good, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed it remains Good. This contrasts with the local picture, where only 14 of 286 primary schools in Nottinghamshire hold an Outstanding rating, meaning Hallcroft’s solid Good status places it in the majority but above its own past performance. With 90 pupils against a capacity of 135, the school is not at full roll, yet it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 42 applications for 22 places and offering all 22 to first-preference families.
