About Stenson Fields Primary Community School

Stenson Fields Primary Community School sits slightly below the Derbyshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 49% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 59%. That ten-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 179th out of 353 schools in the authority. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 73% in maths, both respectable figures, but writing lagged behind at just 51%. At the higher standard, the school struggles — no pupils achieved the top tier in reading, writing and maths combined, and only 6% did so in maths. Reading fared slightly better, with 12% reaching the higher threshold. These results suggest a school where core skills are being taught solidly in some areas but where stretch and challenge for the most able remains a clear area for development.
