Ironville and Codnor Park Primary School
Ironville, NG16 5NB · Derbyshire · primary school
136th 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 — 5.8/10 against 224 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Forest Schools, Glee, and Board Games clubs, or play Tag Rugby and Dodgeball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 137 pupils in a capacity of 158 places, leaving 21 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new families joining a school that is fairly full?
