About Hope Primary School

Hope Primary School punches well above the local average for its type, with 78% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with the Derbyshire average of 59%. That gap of 19 percentage points is significant and places the school in the top 25% nationally, ranked 3rd out of 34 primary schools in the High Peak area. The school is small — just 63 pupils against a capacity of 75 — and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. It has held a Good rating consistently since its previous inspection in 2014, when leadership and management were also judged Good. With 15.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school is serving a community with some disadvantage, yet its outcomes suggest strong value added.
