About Ashgate Primary School

Ashgate Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary school in Derby, serving children aged 4 to 11 under headteacher Peter Seargent. It sits in a local authority with 74 primary schools, five of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Ashgate itself ranks 33rd in Derby on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it just inside the bottom half of the LA. The top-performing peers in the area are Griffe Field Primary School, Gayton Junior School, and St Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy, all of which score higher on the same metric. For families prioritising a top-tier Ofsted rating, the nearest Outstanding school is Lawn Primary School, 1.8 kilometres away. Ashgate’s most recent graded inspection, in June 2023, rated it Good across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That marks a consistent performance: its previous inspection in 2018 also awarded a Good overall, though early years provision has improved from a Requires Improvement rating of 2 back then to a Good rating of 2 now.
