School rankings: The top 8 Nottingham primary schools where pupils have the best reading grades in the city

New data has revealed the top Nottingham primary schools based on the latest reading grades.

Each year the Department for Education compiles performance data from schools across the UK, allowing prospective parents to assess which schools are performing best in their local area.

Data freely available on the Gov.uk website covers performance metrics such as the percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard and the percentage of pupils performing at a higher standard.

Reading is one of the main ways primary school pupils are assessed, with students sitting the key stage 2 reading test.

The Gov.uk website says: “This score shows how well pupils performed in the key stage 2 reading test. This score is known as the reading ‘scaled score’.

“The average scaled score is the mean scaled score of all pupils awarded a scaled score. It only includes pupils who took the test and achieved a scaled score.

“The expected standard is a score of 100 or more. The higher standard is 110 or more.”
