About The Primary School of St Mary and St Martin

The Primary School of St Mary and St Martin sits in the middle of the pack in Nottinghamshire when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 54% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That is seven percentage points below the local authority average of 61% for primary schools, placing it 156th out of 286 schools of the same type in the county. However, the picture is more nuanced than that single headline figure suggests. In reading, 85% of pupils met the expected standard and the average score was 109, while in maths 77% hit the expected mark with an average score of 103. The school’s ranking within Bassetlaw puts it at 22nd out of 44 primaries, right on the 50th percentile, and nationally it sits around the 70th percentile. So while the combined measure lags behind the LA average, individual subject performance is stronger, particularly in reading.
