Dorset Primary Schools

The DfE statistics used in the preparation of the school league tables show that Dorset primary schools perform worse than the average – they rank number 25 amongst the 46 counties. The interactive map below shows the top schools from approximately 156 primary schools in the county. The league tables for schools [sometimes known as the Schools Performance Tables] reveal that 78.33% of primary schools achieve the level that is expected in both English and maths. Dorset is the 21st largest county by size [1,024 square miles] and the 30th largest county by population [745,400].
