About William Booth Primary and Nursery School

William Booth Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2014 found it Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed it 'remains Good', with leadership and management also judged Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 67% achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Nottingham local authority average of 60%, placing the school 20th out of 72 primary schools in the area and in the top 50 nationally. Given that over half of its pupils (51%) are eligible for free school meals, this outcome suggests the school is doing effective work in supporting its cohort.
