Ofsted: Inadequate · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
1.8/10 Well below average

245th of 263 primary schools in Derbyshire we can score, 353 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 the 3,198 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 2.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in 2022-11 rated the school Inadequate. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3 out of 10 among them, against 2.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join STEM, Computing, Craft, Film, Walking, Games, and Young Voices clubs. The school also provides a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 50 pupils in a building with 73 places, leaving 23 spare spots. 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 improve teaching quality following the 2022-11 Inadequate rating? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard in maths? How do the current class sizes affect individual attention during lessons?
