About Turnditch Church of England Primary School

Turnditch Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Derbyshire local authority average, which is a significant point to consider. The school reports that 31% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. This places Turnditch in the bottom half of primary schools within the authority, ranking 237th out of 353. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 92% of pupils reached the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 109, and 46% achieved the higher standard. Maths tells a similar story: 92% met expectations, with an average score of 108, and 38% reached the higher threshold. The gap appears in writing, where only 31% met the expected standard and none reached the higher mark, dragging down the combined figure.
