About Heathfield Primary and Nursery School

Heathfield Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its 2023 graded inspection, inspectors awarded Good across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 47 per cent. That figure is notably below the Nottingham local authority average of 60 per cent, placing Heathfield 61st out of 74 primary schools in the area. Only 3 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and the school ranks in the bottom 50 per cent nationally. These outcomes suggest that while the school is judged to be providing a good quality of education overall, its pupils’ attainment at the end of Key Stage 2 is not yet matching the local benchmark.
