About Dry Drayton CofE (C) Primary School

Dry Drayton CofE (C) Primary School has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. Every category assessed — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was rated Good. But the real story is in the exam data. At Key Stage 2, 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That’s below the local authority average of 58%, and it places the school 144th out of 210 primary schools in Cambridgeshire. In the South Cambridgeshire district specifically, it ranks 44th out of 55, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. The school’s national percentile for this combined measure is around 79, meaning roughly four in five schools nationally performed better.
