5. Somercotes infants school
Inspection carried out in Somercotes infants school on February 15 and 16 find out that the school requires improvement. While inspectors said that leaders’ actions are bringing rapid improvements, Ofsted stressed that a new phonics programme needs to be implemented so that all staff have accurate knowledge of how to support pupils at the early stages of reading. Additionally, it was highlighted that pupils’ behaviour is inconsistent. Photo: Eric Gregory.
Ofsted have found that Castle View primary School in Matlock, inspected on June 28 and 29, requires improvement. While behaviour and attitudes as well as personal development were graded as good, improvement is required in the quality of education, early years provision and leadership and management.

Ofsted inspection carried out in June 2022 found out that Eastwood Grange School 'requires improvement'. Behaviour and attitudes, personal development and sixth-form provision were graded as 'good'. The curriculum is well planned in some subjects. In English and mathematics, leaders have thought carefully about what pupils need to know. But the curriculum is not implemented consistently well in other subjects. Some staff do not have the knowledge and skills they need to choose the most effective approaches and some pupils do not learn as well as they should. Photo: Eastwood Grange School
