About Breadsall CofE VC Primary School

Breadsall CofE VC Primary School is a primary school in Breadsall, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 116 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 88% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous 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 among the top 3% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 25% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Breadsall CofE VC Primary School is oversubscribed: about 6 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 28 first choices for 16 places. Overall pupil absence was 2.8%. There are about 24.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Breadsall CofE VC 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.
