About Chaddesden Park Primary School

Chaddesden Park Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in March 2024, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since its previous inspection in 2015. The most telling academic metric comes from the school's Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where just 49% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits noticeably below the Derby local authority average of 55%, placing the school 40th out of 58 primary schools in the area. On individual subjects, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths and 62% in reading, while 60% did so in writing. Only 6% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and none did so in writing or across all three subjects combined.
