About Ambergate Primary School

Ambergate Primary School’s headline metrics sit comfortably above the Derbyshire local authority average for primary schools, which stands at 59 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Ambergate, that figure is 69 per cent — a ten-point gap that places the school in the top half of its local authority, ranked 15th out of 43 schools in Amber Valley. The school also outperforms the LA average on higher attainment: 15 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, while in reading and writing individually, 31 per cent reached that level. Reading scores are particularly strong, with an average scaled score of 107, and maths sits at 102. The school’s overall ranking places it in the top 35 per cent nationally, and within the East Midlands it sits in the top 30 per cent of primary schools. For a small village primary with just 85 pupils, these results suggest a consistent focus on core academic skills.
