About Great Corby School and Nursery

Great Corby School and Nursery sits within the Cumberland local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 17th out of 111 primary schools in the area, putting it comfortably in the top 50 nationally. Among its closest peers in the same authority, the top performers are Jericho Primary School, Irthington Village School, and Shankhill CofE Primary School, all of which scored higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Hayton CofE Primary School, about 4.5 kilometres away. Great Corby itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2014, and an ungraded visit in March 2024 confirmed that the school remains Good. Leadership and management were also judged Good in that 2014 inspection. With a capacity of 105 and just 101 pupils on roll, it is a small school where class sizes are likely to feel intimate, and the headteacher is Kirsty Fox.
