About Codnor Community Primary School Church of England Controlled

Codnor Community Primary School Church of England Controlled sits comfortably above the Derbyshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 59%, Codnor achieves 64% — a five-point lead that places it in the top half of primary schools nationally. The school's overall Ofsted rating of Good has been consistent across its two most recent inspections, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Good in the 2016 graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in 2021 confirming the school remains Good. That stability is a useful signal for parents looking for a school that doesn't lurch between ratings.
