About Nailsworth Church of England Primary School

Nailsworth Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in December 2024, with the school judged Good across all five graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits ten percentage points above the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%, placing the school comfortably ahead of many of its peers. Nationally, Nailsworth ranks in the top third of primary schools on this measure, sitting at the 33rd percentile. The school’s ranking within the Stroud local authority area is 17th out of 52 schools, putting it in the top half of its immediate competitors. This is a school that delivers solid, above-average outcomes without being among the very highest flyers.
