About Eyam CofE Primary School

Eyam CofE Primary School’s headline KS2 metric sits well below the Derbyshire local authority average, which is a notable contrast for parents scanning the data. Only 25% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a 59% LA average for primary schools. That places Eyam 243rd out of 353 similar schools in the county, and in the bottom 50% nationally on this measure. The school’s ranking within Derbyshire Dales is particularly stark: 33rd out of 35 primary schools. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading and maths, 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in each, with average scores of 103 in both — bang in line with national expectations. Writing was weaker, with 63% at expected level, though 13% achieved a higher standard. So while the headline combined figure gives pause, the school’s core reading and maths results are far more reassuring.
