Derby, DE1 2LF · Derby · secondary school
1st of 16 secondary schools in Derby we can score. 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 — 9.4/10 against 820 of them, against 8.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 65.1 · 88 | 30% | 2.62 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.43 · 81 | 25% | 2.01 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.4 · 86 | 10% | 0.86 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 122 pupils over capacity? What specific support does the Homework Club provide for students needing extra help? How does the school maintain its Outstanding standards while operating above its designated limit?
