Dry Drayton CofE (C) Primary School

Cambridge, CB23 8DA · Cambridgeshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.1/10 Broadly average

48th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 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 4,356 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1/10 among them, against 6.6/10 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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1 out of 10 among them, against 6.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Cooking, Craft, Code, and Musical Theatre Clubs, or play multi-sports, football, and gymnastics. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 64 pupils in a capacity of 70, leaving 6 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities does the Musical Theatre Club involve? How does the school manage the transition for the 6 spare places?
