About Selston Church of England Infant and Nursery School

Selston Church of England Infant and Nursery School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025, with inspectors awarding a Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That marks a change from the school's previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding overall. The school is a small primary for children aged 2 to 7, with 111 pupils on roll against a capacity of 75, and it is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 51 applications for just 17 places, all of which went to first-preference families. The school's parent view data, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, is strikingly positive: 92% of the 12 respondents would recommend the school, and 83% strongly agreed that their child is happy and does well here.
