About William Gilbert Endowed Church of England Primary School

William Gilbert Endowed Church of England Primary School sits in the Amber Valley borough of Derbyshire, a state primary that consistently punches above its weight locally. Among the 353 primary schools in the local authority, it ranks 31st overall, placing it comfortably in the top 10% of Derbyshire primaries. Its closest peers at the very top of the local rankings are Wessington Primary School, Redhill Primary School, and Longford CofE Primary School, all of which share a perfect ranking score of 100. William Gilbert’s own score of 79 is strong enough to land it in the top 25% of schools nationally, and within Amber Valley it sits 6th out of 43 primaries. The school is a Church of England foundation, led by headteacher Helen Britten, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 awarded it Outstanding across every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep, and a notable upgrade from its previous Outstanding rating in 2008, showing sustained excellence over fifteen years.
