Worksop Priory Church of England Primary Academy
About Worksop Priory Church of England Primary Academy
Worksop Priory Church of England Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in March 2025, with every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — all rated Good. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 59%. That figure is very close to the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%, placing Worksop Priory in the middle of the pack nationally — ranked 8,181st out of 13,686 primary schools. Within Bassetlaw, it comes 18th out of 44 schools, putting it in the top half of its immediate area. The school’s overall ranking score of 59 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, but the gap to the LA average is marginal, suggesting solid, broadly typical outcomes for a state primary.
