Check the area around this school
234th 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 — 0.1/10 against 2,673 of them, against 0.5/10 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 | 25.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Youlgrave, All Saints' CofE (VA) Primary School
Overview
Youlgrave, All Saints’ CofE (VA) Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a happy and safe environment for its small pupil population. The report highlights strong community links, effective leadership, and high-quality teaching in core subjects, particularly reading and mathematics. Despite recent staffing changes, the school is improving securely under robust governance.
Strengths
- Pupils feel "happy and safe," are "friendly, polite and well-behaved," and trust adults to support them.
- The reading curriculum is strong, with a phonics programme that works well for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Mathematics teaching is detailed and effective, ensuring pupils have sufficient practice in arithmetic and calculation.
- Most pupils with SEND are "thriving" and welcomed into the classroom, playing a full part in school life.
- Governors provide "robust leadership," having sourced skilled interim leaders to bring stability and capacity to the school.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculums are not precise enough about the knowledge pupils need to learn, meaning teachers do not always emphasise important concepts. The school should continue its planned reviews to ensure full knowledge is logically sequenced for all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
