About Scotholme Primary and Nursery School

Scotholme Primary and Nursery School sits slightly above the Nottingham local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 60%. That three-point gap is modest but meaningful in a city where only six out of 74 primary schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Scotholme itself holds a Good rating, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The school ranks 28th out of 72 Nottingham primaries on this metric, placing it in the top half of the local league table. Its national percentile of 50.4 puts it almost exactly in the middle of all primary schools in England. For families weighing up options in Nottingham, Scotholme offers results that are in line with or slightly ahead of the local norm, without the extreme selectivity of the top-performing peers like St Teresa's or Edna G. Olds Academy.
