Ladywood Primary School
Ilkeston, DE7 4NH · Derbyshire · primary school
112nd 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 — 6.2/10 against 1,473 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 311 pupils in a school with 270 places, meaning it is over capacity by 41. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when the school is over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
