About Shelton Infant School

Shelton Infant School sits within the Derby local authority, where only five of 74 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself is rated Good, placing it in the solid middle tier of local provision. Among its closest peers in the authority, the top-ranked schools are Griffe Field Primary School, Gayton Junior School, and St Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy, all of which serve slightly older age ranges. Shelton is a smaller-than-average infant school with 209 pupils on roll, just one place shy of its 210-capacity, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three. The school has no religious character and is co-educational, serving the mixed community of Derby. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2024 marked a notable improvement from the previous graded inspection in March 2022, when the school had been rated Requires Improvement across several categories including overall effectiveness, quality of education, and early years provision.
