| Administrative History | This school was opened in January 1868 as a Church of England Infants School. The same building was also used for the older mixed class until a new building close by was opened in October 1874. Following an academy conversion agreement dated 31 August 2017 (see DCC/LG/CX/3422) Somercotes Infant and Nursery School ceased to exist, being replaced by an academy of the same name. |
| Custodial History | Records were deposited in Derbyshire Record Office in two accessions, on 01 January 1984 and 03 September 2003. Ownership passed to Derbyshire County Council when the school ceased to exist. A further donation was received from the successor academy in November 2025. |
