Clifton CofE Primary School

Ashbourne, DE6 2GJ · Derbyshire · primary school

Mixed Primary Church of England
8.4/10 Well above average

8th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.8/10 against 4,249 of them, against 8.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 80.0 · 88 62% 5.39
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 13.0 · 78 38% 2.98

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, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Homework Club, a breakfast club, and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 107 pupils in a school with 105 places, meaning it is over capacity by 2. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support does the Homework Club provide for pupils who need extra help? How does the breakfast club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
