About Becket Primary School

Becket Primary School, a state primary in Derby, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 47 per cent. This is noticeably below the Derby local authority average of 55 per cent, placing the school 42nd out of 58 primary schools in the area and in the bottom half nationally. While the headline figure is modest, the breakdown reveals a more nuanced picture: reading scores are the strongest subject, with 63 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 101, while maths and writing both stand at 57 per cent. No pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects, and progress scores are not available in the data.
