About Ash Croft Primary Academy

When you compare Ash Croft Primary Academy’s headline metrics against the Derby local authority average for primary schools, the picture is mixed. The school’s KS2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 42%, well below the LA average of 55%. That places it 47th out of 74 primary schools in Derby, firmly in the bottom half of the local league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 89th percentile, meaning roughly nine in ten primary schools across England achieve higher on this measure. However, the raw scores tell a more nuanced story. In reading, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average scaled score was 103 — both respectable figures. Writing was stronger still, with 69% meeting expectations. Maths was the weak spot: only 50% hit the expected standard, and just 12% reached the higher standard. So while the combined figure drags the headline down, the school’s performance is uneven rather than uniformly low.
