Ranskill Primary School
About Ranskill Primary School
Ranskill Primary School has built a strong reputation on solid academic outcomes, reflected in its Good Ofsted rating from the most recent graded inspection in 2016 and an ungraded inspection in early 2025 that confirmed standards are being maintained. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 82% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school third out of 44 primary schools in the Bassetlaw district and in the top 10% nationally. Digging into the individual subjects, 94% of pupils reached the expected level in both reading and maths, with 88% doing the same in writing. At the higher standard, 47% achieved that level in reading and 41% in maths, though no pupils reached it in the combined measure or in writing. The average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 108 in maths further underline a consistent, above-average performance across the core subjects.
