About Hallam Fields Junior School

Hallam Fields Junior School, a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in Erewash, Derbyshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 47%. This figure is notably below the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally. Drilling into the individual subjects, 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and maths, while 66% did so in writing. The picture is more challenging at the higher standard: just 9% achieved that level in maths, 16% in reading, and only 3% in writing. The school’s average scaled scores were 102 for reading and 101 for maths, both just above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while most children are reaching a basic level, fewer are stretching beyond it.
