Check the area around this school
258th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.1/10 against 2,330 of them, against 0.5/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 20.0 · 1 | 62% | 0.06 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Egginton Primary School
Overview
Egginton Primary School is described as a nurturing community hub where pupils feel safe, happy, and supported. Leaders hold high expectations for behaviour and achievement, fostering a positive environment where children, including those with special educational needs, thrive. The school has significantly refined its curriculum since the last inspection, resulting in strong progress in reading and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, following the school’s ‘seven golden rules’, and thrive in a ‘nurturing and supportive environment’.
- The curriculum is well-structured, enabling pupils to ‘cumulatively build their knowledge’, with particular success in reading fluency and mathematical vocabulary.
- Staff identify additional needs quickly, ensuring pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) ‘achieve well from their starting points’.
- Personal development is enhanced through initiatives promoting British values, democracy, and mental health, such as ‘well-being Wednesday’.
- Governors are ‘passionate about the school’ and effectively hold leaders to account, ensuring equal opportunities for all pupils.
Areas to improve
- The school should refine approaches to revisiting prior learning, as ‘prior knowledge is not revisited frequently enough’, limiting pupils’ ability to build on previous understanding.
- Writing standards vary across the curriculum; the school should review writing provision to ensure pupils consistently apply skills and maintain high presentation standards in subjects other than English.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
