Oak Tree Primary School
About Oak Tree Primary School
Oak Tree Primary School in Mansfield was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in June 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2018. The school now holds Good marks across all five inspection categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 173rd out of 286 primary schools in the county. In the Mansfield local authority area specifically, Oak Tree ranks 20th out of 27 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate neighbours. The school’s ranking score of 50 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though the raw scores tell a more nuanced story.
