About Mellers Primary School

Mellers Primary School in Nottingham posts a KS2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 65%, which sits five percentage points above the local authority average of 60% for primary schools. That places the school 24th out of 72 primary schools in Nottingham, putting it comfortably in the top third of its local peers. The gap is modest but consistent — the school is outperforming the typical Nottingham primary without being among the very top tier. Its ranking within the East Midlands region is similarly solid, sitting in the 38th percentile among 1,353 primaries. For parents comparing options, this suggests a school that reliably delivers above-average outcomes within its local context, rather than one that dominates league tables.
