Akaal Primary School
Derby, DE23 8DG · Derby · primary school
34th of 59 primary schools in Derby we can score, 74 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.3/10 against 2,183 of them, against 6.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 69.0 · 63 | 41% | 2.56 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 34% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 26% | 1.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in March 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 207 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 213 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2022 inspection? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard? How does the school utilise its significant spare capacity to enhance the learning environment?
