St Oswald's CofE Primary School
Ashbourne, DE6 1AS · Derbyshire · primary school
98th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.9/10 against 3,040 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| 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, 68.0% 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 July 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a gardening club and participate in football, netball, rugby, rounders, hockey, gymnastics, swimming, and cross-country. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 204 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 6 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with reading or maths beyond the core curriculum? What are the specific times and locations for the various sports sessions? How do parents arrange transport or supervision for children who cannot stay in school before or after the standard hours?
