Litton CofE Primary School
Buxton, SK17 8QU · Derbyshire · primary school
28th 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 — 7.7/10 against 3,720 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 38% | 3.69 |
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, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 25% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the School Council and Eco-Council, and complete a Friday Mile. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 42 pupils in a building with 56 places, leaving 14 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading or maths? What are the plans for the Eco-Council projects this year? How do you manage the transition for children moving to secondary school?
