About The Ecclesbourne School

The Ecclesbourne School sits in the Derbyshire local authority area of Amber Valley, where it ranks first among the eight secondary schools in the borough. That puts it ahead of nearby peers including St Mary's Catholic High School, Brookfield Community School, and Outwood Academy Newbold, all of which also post positive Progress 8 scores. Across the wider East Midlands region, Ecclesbourne places 37th out of 273 secondary schools, placing it comfortably in the top 14 per cent. Nationally, it ranks 629th out of 3,141 schools, which puts it in the top 20 per cent of all state secondaries. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, serving 1,576 pupils aged 11 to 18. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good overall, a significant improvement from the Inadequate rating it received just the year before. While behaviour and attitudes still require improvement according to that inspection, leadership and management, quality of education, personal development, and sixth-form provision were all judged Good.
