Long Row Primary School
Belper, DE56 1DR · Derbyshire · primary school
133rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.8/10 against 3,392 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Rocksteady, Beat Roots, the Derbyshire Junior Choir, and the South East Derbyshire Music Centre. Music provision includes choir, ukulele, piano, flute, and strings lessons, plus Come and Play with the Hallé. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 264 pupils in a building with 315 places, leaving 51 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 do not reach the expected standard in maths? What are the specific times for the breakfast club? How does the school coordinate with the South East Derbyshire Music Centre for lessons?
