The Derby High School

Welcome, on behalf of The Derby High School community.

In September 2003 we became the first school in the country to become a Specialist School in the combined subject areas of Science and Arts.

This reflects our commitment to make learning as vital and exciting as possible and to provide opportunities for all of our pupils no matter how diverse their talents may be.

We consider ourselves to be a forward looking school and are delighted that our new status has attracted interest from other schools in the country, who wish to follow our lead. Our ideas have attracted support from other quarters too and we are very proud to be part of the Ogden family of schools.

A good education is not only about learning and gaining good results, important though these may be. We want our pupils to develop into young people who really have something worthwhile to contribute to the world they live in. In this respect, we are not afraid to uphold traditional values and to do everything possible to help our pupils develop a good character, so that when they make their way in the world, they can demonstrate the very best personal qualities.

This website will provide some insight into the things that we think make our school special.
In April 2007 we were inspected by OFSTED and given a very pleasing report.
