A Derbyshire school has taken the title of top primary school in the East Midlands for the second year in a row - and in the process has improved its national ranking from 22nd to 12th best in the country.

"Outstanding" Redhill Primary School in Ockbrook came out on top in the Sunday Times Parents Power Guide 2026 , which is recognised as the definitive ranking of the UK's primary, secondary and independent schools.

Ranked seventh in the East Midlands, down from fourth last year, was Griffe Field Primary School in Littleover, which is part of the Derby Diocesan Academy Trust.
