We have gathered the Mansfield and Ashfield area infant and junior schools which have been rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted inspectors in 2022.

Inspectors from education watchdog Ofsted visit schools across England to ensure the educational institutions are performing well and preparing pupils for further education and life in a community.

Each school is given a rating – outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate.

Below is a list of those Mansfield and Ashfield primary schools which had the best ratings in 2022.

Ofsted said, after a two-day visit in May: “Pupils say they enjoy lessons and after-school activities. They feel especially proud of the badges and awards they can earn. They say these motivate them to do well.” The inspectors also hailed the ‘very well-planned programme of extra-curricular clubs and activites’, including gardening, cooking, sports and computing.
