Seely Primary School
About Seely Primary School
Seely Primary School sits within Nottingham local authority, where it ranks 50th out of 72 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of the LA, some way behind the top-performing peers nearby: St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Edna G. Olds Academy and South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Katharine Clifford. It currently has 533 pupils on roll against a capacity of 575, and 23.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals. In its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2019, the school was rated Good overall, with Good for early years provision, leadership and management. A subsequent ungraded inspection in February 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained, a notable improvement from its previous 2016 inspection when the school was judged to require improvement.
