About Litton CofE Primary School

Litton CofE Primary School is a primary school in Buxton, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 46 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 17.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 10% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 25% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Litton CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 3 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.6%. There are about 15.3 pupils per teacher. Litton CofE 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.
