About Nunnery Wood Primary School

Nunnery Wood Primary School sits slightly below the local authority average for the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 results, 58% of its Year 6 pupils achieved that benchmark, compared with the Worcestershire average of 61%. That three-point gap places the school 64th out of 180 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 68% hit the expected standard in reading and 77% in writing, but maths was weaker at 67%. At the higher standard, just 8% of pupils scored highly across all three subjects, though 23% reached that level in reading and writing individually. The school's average scaled scores — 105 in reading and 103 in maths — are solid without being exceptional. So while Nunnery Wood isn't among the top performers in Worcestershire, it's not far off the pace either, and its results suggest a school that delivers consistent, middle-of-the-road outcomes.
