Long Lane Church of England Primary School
About Long Lane Church of England Primary School
Long Lane Church of England Primary School in South Derbyshire received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2023, a step up from the Inadequate rating it had been given just a year earlier. The inspection report noted that behaviour and attitudes were already Good, while quality of education, personal development, and leadership and management all now sit at Requires Improvement. With only 23 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60, this is a very small school where each child accounts for a noticeable proportion of the overall cohort. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits below the Derbyshire local authority average of 59 percent of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That figure places Long Lane behind top-performing local peers such as Wessington Primary School and Redhill Primary School, both of which achieve a ranking score of 100.
