About this school
Muskham Primary School is a primary academy in Newark. It teaches children aged 3 to 11 and has 139 pupils on roll.
Ofsted has inspected Muskham Primary School, and its latest judgement is set out below. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 18 June 2025, where inspectors found that standards have been maintained. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
This inspection took place when the school was registered as Muskham Primary School (URN 122663).

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
