About Newton Primary School

Newton Primary School in Bolsover holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 69% of pupils achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%, placing the school 6th out of 22 primary schools in the Bolsover area and in the top third nationally. Digging deeper into the individual subjects, 81% of pupils met expectations in both reading and maths, while 75% did so in writing. The school also performs well at the higher standard, with 31% of pupils reaching that level in reading and 13% in writing, though only 6% did so in maths.
