About Stanton-in-Peak CofE Primary School

Stanton-in-Peak CofE Primary School sits in a curious position within Derbyshire’s primary landscape. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 — stands at 60%, which is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 59%. That places the school in the bottom half nationally (56th percentile) and around the middle of the Derbyshire Dales district, where it ranks 15th out of 35 primaries. Yet this middling headline figure masks a more nuanced picture. The school’s reading outcomes are notably strong, with 90% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 107. Maths also performs well above the expected benchmark, with 70% at the expected level and an average score of 105. The real drag on the combined figure comes from writing, where only 70% hit the expected standard — a gap that pulls the overall percentage down to the LA average.
