Primary, infant and junior school places announced
Parents across the county find out about their child’s primary, infant or junior school place.

Of those parents who applied for a reception place by the closing date, 94.6 % were offered their first-choice school. Overall, 98.2 % were offered a place at one of their three preferred schools.
And of those who applied for a junior place by the deadline, 96.5 % were offered a place at their first preference school and 96.6 % were offered a place at one of their three preferred schools.
Jane Parfrement, Executive Director for Children’s Services at Derbyshire County Council said:
“Starting school is a big step for every child and I’m really pleased that so many families have been allocated a place at one of their three preferred schools.
“I’d like to thank everyone who applied within the deadline and I’d like to thank our school admissions and transport team for all their hard work processing all the applications.
“If you haven’t applied for your child’s primary school place yet then please get in contact with us as a matter of urgency using the details below.”
