About Walkeringham Primary School

Walkeringham Primary School is a small state primary in the Nottinghamshire local authority, serving the Bassetlaw area with just 37 pupils on its roll. In the local league table of primary schools, it sits at 174th out of 286, placing it firmly in the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the same authority — John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School — all score significantly higher on the ranking metric, which is based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Walkeringham’s ranking score of 50 puts it in the bottom half nationally, but context matters: this is a village school with a capacity of 56 and a nursery provision for three-year-olds, so its small cohort size can make year-on-year comparisons volatile. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 16 applications for just 2 places, suggesting strong local demand despite the modest ranking.
