About Cherry Tree Hill Primary School

Cherry Tree Hill Primary School sits in a competitive Derby primary landscape, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a mixed story against the local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 51%, which is below the Derby LA average of 55%. That places the school 36th out of 74 primaries in the authority, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 63% in reading, while maths lagged behind at 61%. The school also achieves a higher-than-average proportion of pupils working at greater depth in reading (23%) compared with writing (12%) and maths (13%). So while the headline combined figure is below the LA norm, the school is not uniformly weak — reading and writing outcomes are notably stronger than maths.
