About Holly Primary School

Holly Primary School in Mansfield has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2014 gave it Good marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and the school has maintained that standard since, as confirmed by an ungraded inspection in 2023. For a clearer picture of academic performance, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 67 per cent. That is above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61 per cent for primary schools, placing Holly in the top half of schools nationally and sixth out of 27 primary schools within Mansfield itself.
