About Horsendale Primary School

Horsendale Primary School’s headline metrics place it comfortably ahead of the Nottinghamshire local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 61%. That six-percentage-point gap is a meaningful one, and it’s backed up by above-average average scaled scores: 106 in reading and 104 in maths. The school also outperforms the LA norm at the higher standard, with 20% of pupils achieving that benchmark. In Broxtowe, where the school sits, it ranks 12th out of 25 primaries on this measure, placing it in the top half of its immediate borough. Nationally, it sits around the 40th percentile, which is solidly mid-table. What stands out is that Horsendale isn’t just scraping above average — it’s doing so with consistency across both core subjects and at both expected and higher levels.
