Markeaton Primary School
Derby, DE22 1HL · Derby · primary school
17th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.1/10 against 2,608 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 38% | 1.96 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Bright Star Yoga Club, Clay Creators, Spanish, Piano, Drums, Clarinet/Woodwind, Brass, Guitar, Stay On The Ball Football, and Trailblazers Basketball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 418 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving just 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, what is the current waitlist length for new admissions? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early care? How does the school support pupils who did not reach the higher standard in their most recent assessments?
