Street Lane Primary School

About Street Lane Primary School

Street Lane Primary School sits comfortably above the Derbyshire local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 80% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That puts the school in the top 25% nationally and fifth out of 43 primary schools in Amber Valley. The maths average score of 104 and reading average score of 106 are both solid, though the proportion of pupils reaching a higher standard in maths (10%) and writing (0%) is notably lower than in reading (30%). The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour all judged Good. That’s a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Requires Improvement.

The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, but the key stage 2 outcomes tell a straightforward story: Street Lane is delivering above-average results for its pupils. The 80% achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is well ahead of the LA average, and the school ranks 134th out of 1,353 primary schools in the East Midlands. The reading higher-standard figure of 30% is particularly strong. The 2022 Ofsted inspection noted that the school remains Good following an ungraded visit, and the early years provision was also rated Good. With 23.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school is serving a community with above-average disadvantage, yet its outcomes are comfortably above the local norm.

Street Lane is a small school with 92 pupils against a capacity of 80, and it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 41 applications for 14 places, with 16 first-preference applications and an oversubscription ratio of 2.93. The school offers a sensory room, library, art studios, outdoor playground, playing fields, sports hall, dining hall, ICT suite and a chapel. Sports include gymnastics, football, cricket and athletics, and clubs range from choir and chess to eco club and science club. SEND provision covers moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health, speech, language and communication, and physical disability. This is a school that suits families looking for strong academic outcomes in a small, oversubscribed village primary with a broad range of facilities and clear improvement under its current headteacher.
