About Langley Mill Academy

Langley Mill Academy, a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in Amber Valley, sits slightly below the local authority average on the headline KS2 measure. The school recorded 55% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Derbyshire average of 59%. That places it 148th out of 353 primary schools in the county, and 28th out of 43 in Amber Valley specifically. The gap is modest, but worth noting for parents weighing up options. What stands out more is the school's recent Ofsted journey. In its most recent inspection in January 2025, Langley Mill was judged Good overall, with personal development rated Outstanding. That's a clear step up from its previous inspection in July 2022, when it was rated Requires Improvement across all areas, including behaviour and leadership. The turnaround in under three years is significant, and the Outstanding personal development grade suggests the school is now doing something particularly well for its pupils beyond the purely academic.
