Ashbrook Junior School
About Ashbrook Junior School
Ashbrook Junior School in Erewash has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement grade. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2016 and an ungraded visit in 2023 both confirmed the Good rating, with leadership and management also judged Good. Academically, the school's strongest headline metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 79%. That is well above the Derbyshire local authority average of 59% for similar schools, placing Ashbrook in the top 12% nationally and third out of 25 schools in the Erewash district. The school's overall ranking score of 79 reflects strong core outcomes, though the data does not include progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points.
