About Haydn Primary School

Haydn Primary School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Nottingham local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 60%, Haydn achieves 83% — a significant gap that places it 4th out of 74 primary schools in the city. That ranking puts it in the top 10% locally and the top 7% nationally, a strong indicator of consistent academic performance. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024 didn’t assign an overall effectiveness grade, but the breakdown is telling: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged Outstanding, while quality of education and leadership and management were rated Good. That’s a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2013, but the inspection found plenty still working well.
