About Padfield Community Primary School

Padfield Community Primary School, a state primary in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year, where 64% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits above the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%, placing Padfield 99th out of 353 primary schools in the county. In the High Peak area specifically, it ranks 8th out of 34 schools, putting it comfortably in the top quarter of its immediate locality. While no pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: reading and maths average scores were 105 and 102 respectively, with 86% of pupils reaching the expected level in reading and 71% in both maths and writing.
