About Chellaston Infant School

Chellaston Infant School, a state primary for children aged 5 to 7 in Derby, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025. This is a consistent rating for the school, which also held a Good overall effectiveness grade in its previous inspection in 2018. The 2025 inspection gave the school Good marks across every category assessed: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results — it only covers infants up to Year 2 — the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Derby is 55, and Chellaston Infant School sits within a competitive local landscape. Among the 74 primary schools in the Derby local authority, only five hold an Outstanding rating, with the nearest being Wyndham Spencer Academy, 2.5 kilometres away. For a school that focuses on the earliest primary years, its consistent Good rating across two inspections is a solid indicator of stable quality.
