About Hucknall National Church of England Primary School

Hucknall National Church of England Primary School has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 gave it Good marks across the board, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 75% hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests. That is well above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61% for primary schools, placing Hucknall National sixth out of 30 schools in the Ashfield district and in the top 25% nationally. The school also posted strong average scores of 107 in both reading and maths, with 87% of pupils meeting the expected standard in maths and 83% in reading.
