About Mattersey Primary School

Mattersey Primary School is a small state primary in the Nottinghamshire local authority, serving the Bassetlaw area. Among the 286 primary schools in the county, it sits below the top-ranked local peers — John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School — but holds its own with a consistent Good rating from Ofsted. The school is notably small, with just 40 pupils against a capacity of 70, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three. Its most recent graded inspection took place in June 2024, where it received Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a steady performance compared with its previous inspection in 2017, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good, though early years provision at that time was graded Requires Improvement. The school has no religious character and is co-educational, making it a straightforward option for local families seeking a non-denominational setting.
