Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.6/10 Broadly average

171st 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 3,380 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2023/24 60.0 · 39 40% 1.56

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 2023/24, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 63%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 2.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils go on a camp in the school field.

Getting in. The school has 48 pupils in a building with 70 places, leaving 22 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 support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What are the specific learning outcomes from the camp in the school field? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing wraparound care?

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
