About Homefields Primary School
Homefields Primary School in Derby holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the real story is in the numbers. The school ranks 10th out of 58 primary schools in the Derby local authority, placing it comfortably in the top 25% nationally. Its standout metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 73% achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is a significant 18 percentage points above the Derby local authority average of 55%. Digging deeper, the school is particularly strong in writing, where 87% of pupils met the expected standard, and reading and maths both sit at 80%. At the higher standard, 42% of pupils achieved greater depth in both reading and maths, though writing at that level drops to 11%. The average scaled scores of 107 in maths and 106 in reading are solid, confirming that Homefields is delivering well above the typical outcomes for its area.
