Check the area around this school
63rd of 263 primary schools in Derbyshire we can score, 354 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 — 7.8/10 against 2,702 of them, against 6.8/10 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 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints' Catholic Voluntary Academy
Overview
All Saints Catholic Voluntary Academy is confirmed as a "good school" following an ungraded inspection. The report describes it as a "thriving school" where pupils are happy, enjoy school life, and benefit from strong partnerships within its federation and trust.
Strengths
- Behaviour is described as "exceptional," with pupils raising no concerns about bullying and older students actively supporting younger peers.
- Early reading teaching is effective, with a "well established" phonics programme that helps pupils build fluency and accuracy.
- Mathematics curriculum delivery has been reviewed and improved, ensuring learning "builds carefully from the early years through to Year 6."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported," with staff making appropriate adjustments for curriculum access.
- Parents and staff describe the school as a "wonderful, caring environment, with a family feel."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should identify optimum ways to provide feedback on phonics teaching and share best practice, as opportunities for staff to share effective approaches are currently limited.
- Further work is required to ensure the most important knowledge is covered in aspects of the wider curriculum, so pupils can confidently discuss their skill development.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders working well with local agencies and pupils demonstrating confidence in sharing worries and knowledge of safety issues.
