About Lantern Lane Primary and Nursery School

Lantern Lane Primary and Nursery School’s headline Key Stage 2 result — 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — sits three percentage points above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%. That’s a modest but clear outperformance of the typical school in the county, placing it 110th out of 286 primaries on that measure. In its immediate borough of Rushcliffe, however, the picture is more competitive: it ranks 25th out of 32 schools, suggesting that while it beats the county average, it’s not among the strongest performers in its own neighbourhood. The school’s national percentile of 46.5 confirms a solidly middle-of-the-pack position. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed it “remains Good,” consistent with its previous graded inspection in 2012, where it also received a Good overall effectiveness rating. That consistency suggests reliable, if not exceptional, quality.
