St Andrew's CofE Primary School
Ilkeston, DE7 6FB · Derbyshire · primary school
165th 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 3,875 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 2.9/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Bikeability, Cross Country, Athletics, and Fun runs, alongside Rangoli and Friendship bracelet making. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 74 pupils in a building with 109 places, leaving 35 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in literacy and numeracy? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while managing such a small class size?
