About Weston-on-Trent CofE (VA) Primary School

Weston-on-Trent CofE (VA) Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits slightly above the Derbyshire local authority average for primary schools, with 62% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That three-percentage-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school in the middle of the pack locally: it ranks 107th out of 353 primary schools in Derbyshire, and 14th out of 30 in the smaller South Derbyshire district. The school’s overall ranking score of 62 puts it in the bottom half nationally, but that metric is based on the same expected-standard measure, so the context matters — Weston-on-Trent is a solidly performing village primary rather than a standout outlier. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2023, confirmed the school remains Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding — a notable strength that suggests strong direction from headteacher Mark Hibbert and his team.
