About Rosslyn Park Primary and Nursery School

Rosslyn Park Primary and Nursery School sits in the bottom half of Nottingham’s 74 primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 55 per cent is five points below the local authority average of 60 per cent, a gap that places it 51st in the LA table. That headline figure, however, tells only part of the story. The school is significantly more representative of its community than many others: 67 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, nearly three times the national average, and the school serves a diverse, inner-city intake. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2023, inspectors rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. That judgement reflects a school that is working hard to close the gap for children who start well behind age-related expectations, even if the raw outcomes still lag the LA norm.
