About Markeaton Primary School

Markeaton Primary School is a primary school in Derby, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 418 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 66% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 2.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Markeaton Primary School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 71 first choices for 60 places. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 24.6 pupils per teacher. Markeaton 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.
