About Camms CofE (Aided) Primary School

Camms CofE (Aided) Primary School in North East Derbyshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded visit in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 43% for the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 88th percentile. The school’s ranking within North East Derbyshire is 32nd out of 35 schools, putting it in the bottom tier locally. While the overall Ofsted rating is positive, the academic outcomes suggest that for many pupils, meeting the combined expected standard remains a challenge.
