About Osmaston CofE (VC) Primary School

Osmaston CofE (VC) Primary School is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school achieved Outstanding ratings for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education and early years provision were judged Good, and leadership and management also came in at Good. That represents a change from the school's previous inspection in 2012, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. On the key academic metric for primary schools — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — Osmaston scored 86%, which is well above the Derbyshire local authority average of 59%. That figure also places the school 3rd out of 35 primary schools in the Derbyshire Dales area, and in the top 5% nationally. It's a strong academic story, particularly given that the school is oversubscribed, with 50 applications for 21 places in the 2025/26 intake.
