Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.8/10 Above average

42nd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 3,780 of them, against 7.8/10 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) 2024/25 75.0 · 78 40% 3.11

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 13.0 · 78 25% 1.94

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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 144 pupils in a school with 175 places, leaving 31 spare places. 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 do you support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What does a typical day look like for a child in the smaller class sizes? How does the school engage parents in their child’s progress?
