About Dean Barwick Primary School

Around 55 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 20% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 11.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Dean Barwick Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 7 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 13.9 pupils per teacher. Dean Barwick Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
