Gorseybrigg Primary School and Nursery

About Gorseybrigg Primary School and Nursery

Gorseybrigg Primary School and Nursery sits slightly above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Derbyshire average of 59%. That four-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school in the middle of the pack locally — ranked 105th out of 353 primary schools in the county. Within its own borough of North East Derbyshire, it comes 18th out of 35 schools, putting it just above the halfway mark. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for 29 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 103 applications, 45 of them as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.55. That level of demand suggests local families see it as a solid, reliable option rather than an outlier. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed it remains Good — a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2013.
