Norbury CofE Primary School
About Norbury CofE Primary School
Norbury CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Derbyshire Dales, sitting within the Derbyshire local authority. It is one of 353 state primary schools in the county, and while it does not appear among the very highest-ranked peers in the area — Wessington, Redhill, and Longford CofE primaries all share a perfect ranking score — it holds its own as a Good-rated school. The school is tiny, with a capacity of just 78 pupils, and caters to mixed-gender children from ages 4 to 11. It has no nursery or sixth form provision, so it is firmly a straight-through primary. Headteacher Sally Wright leads a school that has clearly been on an upward trajectory: its most recent graded inspection in 2014 rated it Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in December 2023 confirmed that the school remains Good. That is a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was judged to require improvement in both overall effectiveness and leadership and management.
