About All Saints CofE Infant School

All Saints CofE Infant School in Derbyshire Dales is a Church of England primary for children aged 4 to 7, currently home to 140 pupils against a capacity of 180. That 78% occupancy rate suggests there is room to grow, but the school is already a popular choice locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 58 applications for 38 places, with all 38 first-preference families offered a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 1.53 confirms demand outstrips supply. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school is led by headteacher Ben O'Connell and, in its most recent ungraded inspection in June 2025, Ofsted confirmed that standards were maintained, building on a Good rating that has been consistent across both its graded inspections.
