Check the area around this school
262nd of 263 primary schools in Derbyshire we can score, 354 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 — 0.1/10 against 3,161 of them, against 0.4/10 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) 2022/23 | 17.0 · 1 | 40% | 0.03 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2022/23 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school plan to raise attainment from the 17.0% expected standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the small current cohort of 18 pupils affect the range of activities offered?
