Thousands of families across Derbyshire have been waiting for primary school National Offer Day to find out if their children got a place at their chosen infant or primary school in September.
Now the wait is finally over with parents across the county found out schools allocations for their children today (Thursday, April 16).
We have ranked Derbyshire primary school looking at the 2025 Key Stage 2 performance data, based on pupils’ SAT results.
The ranking is based on the average reading and maths results in the 2024/25 school year.
The results were calculated using scaled average scores, which indicate how well pupils performed in their key stage 2 reading and maths tests.
The Department of Education defines the average scaled score as the mean scaled score of all pupils awarded a scaled score. It only includes pupils who took the test and achieved a scaled score.
The ranking below includes Derbyshire primaries with 10 best and 10 worst average maths and reading scores last year.
Schools which had less than 10 pupils at the end of Key Stage 2 are not included in the ranking. This is because schools with fewer than 10 pupils in Y6 are not required to publish their SAT results.
The league table does not include special schools and schools located in Derby.
