About Kirkby Woodhouse School

Kirkby Woodhouse School stands out from the Nottinghamshire primary average in a couple of key ways. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 61 per cent, but Kirkby Woodhouse achieves a noticeably higher 72 per cent. That puts it 11 percentage points ahead of the typical school in the area. The school also ranks 8th out of 30 primary schools in Ashfield on this measure, placing it comfortably in the top third locally and in the top quarter nationally. However, the picture is more mixed at the higher end: only 5 per cent of pupils hit the higher standard in all three subjects, which is a fairly modest figure. On the other hand, maths is a relative strength, with 38 per cent of pupils reaching the higher standard and an average scaled score of 107, while reading and writing higher scores sit at 25 per cent and 7 per cent respectively.
