School overview

Norbriggs Primary School is a primary school serving Chesterfield, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 184 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 58% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 34.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Norbriggs Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 14 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.6%. There are about 18.6 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 52% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Norbriggs 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.
