About Markeaton Primary School

The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025 and gathered 110 responses, shows particularly strong satisfaction around pupil happiness and safety: 88% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is another standout area, with 70% strongly agreeing that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 intake, Markeaton received 153 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.59.
