Holgate Primary and Nursery School

About Holgate Primary and Nursery School

Holgate Primary and Nursery School’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, awarded it a Good rating across every category — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2019. That upward trajectory is worth noting, but how does the school stack up against the Nottinghamshire average for primary schools? The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 61, a benchmark Holgate’s pupils would need to meet or exceed to be considered above par. Without specific KS2 results published for the school itself, the headline story here is the Ofsted turnaround: the school moved from a 3 (Requires Improvement) to a 2 (Good) in overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. Early years provision also improved from a 2 to a Good. This suggests a school that has addressed its weaknesses and is now performing reliably, even if it hasn’t yet pushed into Outstanding territory — only 14 of Nottinghamshire’s 286 primary schools hold that top grade.
