About The Park Infant & Nursery School

The Park Infant & Nursery School in Bolsover was rated Good across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2024, a consistent outcome that matches its previous Good rating from 2012. The school serves children from age three to seven, and its early years provision was also judged Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results — its pupils move on to junior school before that assessment point — the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Derbyshire stands at 59, which provides a useful benchmark for the feeder schools families might consider next. With 32.2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage, yet Ofsted noted that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management are all Good, suggesting the school is managing its context effectively.
