About Rosliston CofE Primary School

Rosliston CofE Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Derbyshire local authority average, which is a significant point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 27% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 59%. That gap of 32 percentage points places the school 240th out of 353 primary schools in the county. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 80% of pupils reached the expected level in reading, which is a strong showing, but only 47% did so in writing and 53% in maths. The school’s ranking in South Derbyshire is 29th out of 30 schools on the same metric, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. For families prioritising academic outcomes, these figures are a clear red flag, though the reading result suggests some pockets of strength.
