About Bakewell CofE Infant School

Bakewell CofE Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The school serves children aged five to seven in Derbyshire Dales and is a Church of England state primary. With only 27 pupils on roll against a capacity of 120, it is a very small school where every child is known well. In its 2023 inspection, Ofsted rated every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good. The previous inspection, back in 2012, also awarded Good for overall effectiveness and leadership. Because the school covers only Key Stage 1, there are no published KS2 SATs results or a Progress 8 score to examine. However, the local authority average for KS2 attainment across Derbyshire primary schools is 59, which provides a useful benchmark for families considering the feeder junior school that children move on to at age seven.
