Norbridge Academy
About Norbridge Academy
Norbridge Academy in Bassetlaw was judged Outstanding across all five graded areas in its most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2025, a rating it has now held consistently since at least 2014. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year, where 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61% for primary schools, and it places Norbridge 7th out of 44 schools in Bassetlaw, putting it comfortably in the top 25% nationally. The school also performed strongly on the higher standard: 31% of pupils achieved a higher score in maths, 23% in reading and 11% in writing. Average scaled scores were 106 in maths and 105 in reading, both above the national benchmark of 100.
