About Mount CofE Primary School

Mount CofE Primary School sits within Nottinghamshire’s Newark and Sherwood borough, a Church of England primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it places 213rd out of 286 schools, putting it firmly in the bottom half of the table. The top-performing peers in the area — John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School — all achieve significantly higher ranking scores, which gives a sense of the competitive landscape. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in April 2025, rated its overall effectiveness as ‘Not judged’ under the new framework, but the graded inspection awarded a ‘Requires improvement’ for quality of education. However, inspectors found behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management all to be ‘Good’. That’s a mixed picture, but it’s worth noting the school previously held a ‘Good’ rating back in 2013, so the current grade represents a step down in one key area.
