School Atlas lists 74 state primary schools, 15 state secondary schools, 1 all-through school, 6 special schools, 3 alternative provision schools and 2 post-16 schools and colleges in Derby. It also lists 10 independent schools and 80 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 16 have a religious character: 8 Church of England, 6 Roman Catholic, 1 Muslim and 1 Sikh.
Of the 90 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Derby, 55 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 5 Outstanding, 47 Good and 3 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 15 of these schools have had one.
Derby publishes catchment boundaries but doesn’t license them for reuse, so we can’t map them. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 5 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
