The Old Vicarage School is a happy, family-run school in which children are nurtured and stimulated to achieve their potential. From Nursery we encourage children to develop a love of learning, hear them read every day and make learning fun! We are proud to be Derby’s only truly independent school and pride ourselves on achieving first choice secondary school places for our Year 6 leavers, often with scholarships.OVS is also the only dedicated Preparatory school in Derby, ensuring that your child can develop their social and academic learning in their own style before choosing a secondary education that best suits them.
Entry points
Our main entry point is our Nursery class in the September after your child’s third birthday. Children in our Nursery class automatically progress to our Reception class the following September.
A significant benefit of being a small school is that children settle into a class very quickly and easily at all times of the year. We therefore offer entry points to suit families throughout the academic year, dependent upon availability of a place.
