About Ravensdale Junior School

Parents considering Ravensdale Junior School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, a very high 93% of the 67 parents who responded said they would recommend the school to others. That's a compelling figure. Looking at the detail, 91% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school is also popular in practical terms: with 351 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, it is very close to full, suggesting it is a well-regarded choice for families in Derby. While the school does not have a religious character, its facilities include a chapel, which is an unusual feature for a state junior school and may appeal to some families.
