Longstone CofE Primary School
Great Longstone, DE45 1TZ · Derbyshire · primary school
61st 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 the 3,799 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| 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, 73.0% 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 October 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join board games, drawing, ukulele, gardening, chess, and Bug Club clubs, or play tag-rugby, football, and rounders. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 94 pupils in a building with 139 places, leaving 45 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the current class size affect individual attention compared to the school’s full capacity?
