About Holme Hall Primary School

Holme Hall Primary School sits within the Derbyshire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11 in Chesterfield. Among the 353 primary schools in the LA, it ranks 149th, placing it in the bottom half of the county. The top-performing peers in the area — Wessington Primary School, Redhill Primary School, and Longford CofE Primary School — all achieved a perfect ranking score of 100, which sets a high bar locally. Holme Hall’s own ranking score of 55 reflects a school that is solid but not among the elite. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. This is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when the school was rated Requires Improvement, with leadership and management and overall effectiveness both scoring 3. The turnaround suggests a school that has found its footing under headteacher Jackie Littlechilds.
