The Derby High School Governing Body
Diversity Statement
In April 2023, the Department for Education, in their recognition of the importance of diversity, asked that all school governing bodies seek to reflect the communities they serve. Schools were asked to voluntarily publish their diversity information. We have welcomed this initiative at The Derby High School.
We acknowledge and respect diversity and commit to fully engaging with our school community.
The Derby High School serves nearly one thousand students and employs over one hundred staff who come from a range of different backgrounds – gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and social backgrounds. Everyone is valued.
Over time the membership of our governing body changes and we review this on an annual basis. Currently the membership of the Governing Body is
- An equal split of female and males
- A range of ages with most over 41 years of age
- The majority but not all who were educated within the state school sector
- A range of qualifications, occupations and some members who are now retired
- Representations from different ethnic background
- Representations from different faiths and no faiths
- Representations from different socioeconomic backgrounds
- All members live within Bury
