About Ridgeway Primary School

Ridgeway Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results put it comfortably ahead of the Derbyshire local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 59%. That ten-point gap is a meaningful indicator of above-average academic performance, and it’s backed up by strong individual subject scores: 86% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, 83% in maths and 79% in reading. The school also outperforms on higher-level attainment, with 14% of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects. Nationally, Ridgeway sits in the top 34% of primary schools on this measure, and within North East Derbyshire it ranks 12th out of 35 schools. For parents looking at state primary options in the area, these figures suggest a school that consistently delivers results above the norm.
