New Mills Primary School
High Peak, SK22 4AY · Derbyshire · primary school
138th 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 3,780 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 3.6/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0 out of 10 among them, against 3.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Forest School and a Year 6 trip to Delamere Wildshore. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 216 pupils in a capacity of 220, leaving 4 spare places. It is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What arrangements are in place for children who need care before or after the school day? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 4 places remaining?
