About Harworth CofE Academy

Harworth CofE Academy stands out sharply against the Nottinghamshire primary average. While the local authority average for Key Stage 2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 61%, Harworth’s pupils achieved 93% in the 2023/24 academic year — a full 32 percentage points higher. That places the school second out of 286 primaries in the county and first in the Bassetlaw district, comfortably inside the top 1% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed: for 30 Reception places in 2025/26, it received 65 applications, with 32 first-preference families putting it top of their list. That level of demand suggests local parents are well aware of the results on offer. With 26.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals — above the national average — these outcomes are particularly striking, showing that the school is delivering strong academic performance across its intake.
