About Sawley Infant and Nursery School

Sawley Infant and Nursery School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2008. The inspection report graded every category as Good, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. For a school that only covers the early primary years up to age 7, the most telling academic metric is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 59, which provides a benchmark for how pupils typically perform by the time they leave primary school in Derbyshire. While Sawley’s own KS2 results are not published separately for an infant school, its Good rating across all areas suggests solid foundations are being laid in the early years and key stage 1.
