Lawn Primary School
Derby, DE22 2QR · Derby · primary school
2nd of 59 primary schools in Derby we can score, 74 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.6/10 against 3,934 of them, against 8.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 84.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join gymnastics and choir clubs, play cricket, cross country, and fun run, and visit the Wonder Dome, Eyam, Cresswell Craggs, Pride Park, and religious sites. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 435 pupils in a capacity of 436 places, leaving just 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single spare place during the admissions process? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care after the school day ends?
