Best primary schools in Derbyshire

263 of 357 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Derbyshire schools · secondary schools

Ranked on Met expected standard (RWM), 2024/25 — the most recent year each school has published. Official data, not our opinion — but the ranking is only as good as the measure, and a single number never describes a school. We hold real catchment boundaries for 273 of them.

268 of 357 rated Good or Outstanding
21 oversubscribed on first preference
10 Good or better and undersubscribed — the overlooked ones
