Brockley Primary School
About Brockley Primary School
Brockley Primary School is a small state primary in Bolsover, Derbyshire, serving 130 pupils aged 3 to 11. Within its local authority, it ranks 16th out of 22 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of Bolsover’s schools. The top-performing peers in the area — Redhill Primary, Wessington Primary, and Longford CofE Primary — all achieve a perfect ranking score of 100, which highlights the competitive landscape Brockley sits within. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2025, rated its overall effectiveness as not judged, but the graded inspection gave the quality of education a ‘Requires improvement’ label. However, inspectors found behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management all to be ‘Good’. This is a shift from the school’s previous inspection in 2019, when the overall effectiveness was rated ‘Good’. The school has a nursery provision and is non-denominational, with Caroline Rodgers as headteacher.
