About Egginton Primary School

Egginton Primary School, a small state primary in South Derbyshire, was rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all earning a Good. That’s a consistent picture: the school’s previous inspection in 2013 also rated it Good overall. But the headline academic story is a challenging one. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, just 20% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That’s well below the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%, and it places Egginton at the very bottom of the 30 primary schools in South Derbyshire. No pupils achieved the higher standard in any of the three subjects, though reading came closest with 20% reaching that level.
