About Clowne Junior School

Clowne Junior School has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2021, the school was rated Good across every category — overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That’s a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when it was judged to Require Improvement on both overall effectiveness and leadership and management. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year. 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%. That puts Clowne Junior School 4th out of 22 primary schools in the Bolsover area, comfortably in the top 25% nationally. For a school where 38.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, these outcomes are particularly notable.
