About Rampton Primary School

Rampton Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Nottinghamshire local authority average, which stands at 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Rampton, that figure is 47%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools across the county. In the Bassetlaw district specifically, it ranks 32nd out of 44 schools on this measure, putting it in the 73rd percentile locally and the 83rd percentile nationally. The gap is consistent across individual subjects: 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading (compared with a typical LA figure in the high 60s), 60% in maths and 60% in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 7%, well below what many local schools achieve. These numbers suggest that while the school serves a small cohort — just 83 pupils against a capacity of 105 — academic outcomes are an area where parents may want to probe further, particularly given that 23.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a factor that can influence results.
