About Temple Normanton Primary Academy

Temple Normanton Primary Academy is a small state primary in North East Derbyshire that clearly inspires confidence among its families. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 85% of parents said they would recommend the school to other parents, with only 15% saying they would not. The school is also notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 34 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.62. Of those 34 applications, 13 were first-preference offers, meaning every place went to a family who had put the school at the top of their list. Parents gave particularly strong feedback on their children's happiness and safety, with 93% either agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child is happy, and 96% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child feels safe. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Good.
