About St Nicholas Church of England Primary School

St Nicholas Church of England Primary School in Rutland was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2011. The inspection highlighted leadership and management as Outstanding, the highest possible grade, which is a strong indicator of the school's direction. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 81% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure comfortably exceeds the Rutland local authority average of 70%, placing the school fifth out of 17 primary schools in the area and in the top 10% nationally. This performance is especially notable given the school's small size, with just 134 pupils on roll.
