About Whitegate Primary and Nursery School

Whitegate Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham was rated Good across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s strongest academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 70%. That figure is ten percentage points above the Nottingham local authority average of 60%, placing Whitegate 16th out of 72 primary schools in the area and in the top quarter nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 70 puts it just outside the top three local performers, which include St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School and Edna G. Olds Academy. Whitegate’s progress scores are not available in the data, but its attainment scores tell a clear story: the school is comfortably above the local norm in core subjects.
