About The Forest View Academy

The Forest View Academy, a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in Newark and Sherwood, posts a combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 60 per cent, which sits just one point below the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61 per cent. That places it squarely in the middle of the pack — 133rd out of 286 primary schools in the county, and 18th out of 32 schools within its immediate borough. Its national percentile of 56.6 means it outperforms more than half of all primaries in England, though it falls into the bottom 50 per cent tier on the ranking metric used. The school is not among the top performers locally — John Blow Primary School, for instance, scores a perfect 100 on the same measure — but it is also far from the bottom. For families looking at a solid, middle-ground option, the headline figures suggest a school that delivers broadly in line with what you would expect from the local area.
