About Zaytouna Primary School

Zaytouna Primary School sits slightly below the Derby local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 55%, Zaytouna achieves 52%. That places it 34th out of 74 primary schools in Derby, putting it in the bottom half of the authority. The school is also oversubscribed — for 59 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 89 total applications, with 61 first-preference requests. That suggests strong local demand despite the middling headline figure. The school’s ranking score of 52 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, at the 74th percentile among all primary schools. It’s worth noting that Zaytouna is a Muslim faith school, and its religious character may be a significant draw for families seeking that alignment, even if raw academic metrics don’t place it among Derby’s top performers.
