About Ramsden Primary School
Ramsden Primary School in Bassetlaw holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 79 per cent, which places it firmly in the top 25 per cent of primary schools nationally. That figure is also well above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61 per cent, suggesting pupils here are making stronger-than-typical progress by the end of primary. In the Bassetlaw district, Ramsden ranks 5th out of 44 primary schools, putting it in the top 12 per cent locally. Its individual subject scores back this up: 82 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and 79 per cent did so in both reading and writing. At the higher standard, 57 per cent achieved that level in maths, 46 per cent in reading and 29 per cent in writing. The school’s average scaled scores of 109 in maths and 108 in reading are solid, though progress scores are not available in the data.
