School overview

Morley Primary School is a primary school serving Ilkeston, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. It has 79 pupils aged 5 to 11 on roll. 92% 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 risen by 6.0 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 among the top 1% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 112 in reading and 111 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 38% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Morley 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 further down the page.
