Thursday 26th June 8.30a.m -2.30pm

We are really looking forward to welcoming all students who will be starting with us at The Derby High School in September 2025.

Key information about the day is as follows:

• Students should wear their current school uniform (and bring a pair of trainers as there are some PE activities).
• Students should arrive from 8.35am and report to the main sports hall for a 9am start.
• If they are arriving by car they must alight at the school gate (top of the drive) and walk down the path to the main entrance – staff and prefects will be on hand to guide and support them.
• The day will end at 2.30pm when they will walk back up to the gate – once again staff will be around to support them leaving site.
• We will provide all students with a free mid-morning snack and free lunch but please ensure that they bring a bottle of water with them.
• You may provide your child with a packed lunch if you prefer.

During the day they will take part in a variety of engaging activities and experience some high school lessons. They will also be shown around the school.

Induction Evening 2025 Thursday 26th June 6.30pm

The Induction evening will also be held on (Please arrive by 6:20pm for a prompt start – we aim to finish by 7.30pm)

This is a very important evening when parents/carers and students will meet members of our staff team prior to being given information about our school and what to expect in September. School rules, procedures and any queries you may have can all be answered on this evening. Uniform and equipment suppliers will also be in attendance.

Please bring your completed admissions forms to this evening – Please note that it is imperative that this information is submitted to allow us to place your child on roll in September.

My colleagues and I are looking forward to welcoming you and your child personally to our school very soon.
