About Grampian Primary Academy

Grampian Primary Academy in Derby holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2022. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is its Key Stage 2 combined score: 41% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in the 2023/24 academic year. That is notably below the Derby local authority average of 55%, placing the school 48th out of 58 primaries in the area and in the bottom 50 nationally. Breaking that down, 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, 62% in reading and 59% in writing. Only 3% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 55. 5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average — which provides important context for these results.
