Ofsted inspectors visit schools across England to ensure that the educational institutions are performing well and preparing pupils for further education and life in a community.
Each school is given a rating – outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate.
Below is a list of those Derbyshire primary schools which had the best this year.
9. Winster CofE Primary School
The report carried out in May rated the school as good. It found that pupils thrive at this small village school. Inspectors said: 'Positive relationships and the school’s nurturing ethos' enable students to 'develop as well-rounded individuals'. Photo: Google
