Inkersall Spencer Academy
Chesterfield, S43 3SE · Derbyshire · primary school
81st 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 — 7.4/10 against 1,747 of them, against 6.0/10 nationally. 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) 2024/25 | 66.0 · 54 | 41% | 2.20 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.74 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 26% | 1.80 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Little Cookies Choir, Cooking Club, Construction club, Gardening Club, Art Club, Craft, and School Council. Sports options include Table Tennis, Football, Girls' Football, Gymnastics, and Swimming. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 377 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 43 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 in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How has the teaching quality changed since the 2022 inspection?
