Check the area around this school
198th 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 — 1.6/10 against 2,414 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing
In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2023.

What Ofsted said about Mundy CofE Junior School
Overview
Mundy Church of England Junior School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy learning and benefit from positive relationships with staff. The report highlights a broad curriculum with a strong emphasis on reading, though it identifies specific areas in mathematics and other subjects where teaching consistency and planning require enhancement.
Strengths
- Pupils are motivated, behave well, and take pride in their work, with staff providing a safe and caring environment.
- Reading is central to the curriculum, supported by a well-used library and a new phonics programme that helps pupils become accurate and fluent readers.
- The mathematics curriculum is well planned, with opportunities for pupils to practise skills and catch up on previous learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are taught the full curriculum and supported well in class.
- Staff workload and well-being are prioritised by leaders, fostering a supportive staff culture.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, adults do not always check pupils’ understanding closely enough during lessons, meaning misconceptions are not consistently identified and corrected, which slows progress.
- In some subjects, key concepts are not planned well enough, and leaders do not consistently check how well pupils are learning, leaving potential gaps in knowledge unaddressed.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being very knowledgeable about how to respond to concerns and maintaining detailed record-keeping.
