Springfield Primary School
Derby, DE21 7AB · Derby · primary school
10th 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 — 8.4/10 against 2,027 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Dance & Sensory Play, Games & Messy Makers, Construction, and Drawing Club, alongside cricket, rounders, girls football, and netball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 329 pupils in a capacity of 344, leaving 15 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to help the 11.0% who reach the higher standard extend their learning further? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 15 places?
