About St Oswald's CofE Primary School

St Oswald's CofE Primary School sits slightly above the Derbyshire average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 59%. That gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school 115th out of 353 primary schools of the same type across the county. Within the Derbyshire Dales district specifically, it ranks 13th out of 35 schools, putting it in the middle of the pack locally. The school is oversubscribed by a factor of 2.57, with 72 applications for 28 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 26 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests parents see real value here, even if the headline figures don't put it among the very top performers in the area.
