Primary school children across Derbyshire have taken their SAT exams this week – with the last Maths exam taking place today (Thursday, May 14).
As the exams come to an end, we have created a ranking of top performing Derbyshire primary schools, based on the latest Department of Education data.
The data includes Key Stage 2 performance data, based on pupils’ SAT results in the 2024/25 school year.
We have ranked the schools based on the proportion of students achieving at a ‘higher standard’ in the 2024/25 school year.
Pupils achieve at the higher standard if they achieve a scaled score of 110 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as ‘working at a greater depth within the expected standard’ in writing.
On average, only 8% of pupils achieved at a higher standard both across Derbyshire schools and at the national level.
We also included the percentage of pupils meeting the expected standards for each school as well as their most recent Ofsted inspection results.
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 schools located in Derby.
13. All Saints Church of England Junior School
All Saints Church of England Junior School at Hurds Hollow in Matlock had19% achieved of their key stage pupils achieve at a higher standard, while 86% met expected standards for reading, writing and maths in 2025. Pupils achieved an average score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths. The school had 58 pupils at the end of key stage 2 and was rated 'good' by Ofsted in October 2021. Photo: Google
