Our School

Vision & Values

Derby High is a coeducational independent day school with over 600 boys and girls aged 3-18, conveniently situated on the outskirts of Derby.

Derby High School prides itself on its friendliness, and visitors to the school invariably comment on the calm and happy atmosphere in the school and the excellent relationships between the children and the staff.

One of the great strengths of the school is its broad social and cultural intake.

The school has a Christian foundation in the Anglican tradition, but our school community includes those of all faiths and none and while our values maintain our Christian tradition, we seek to learn from and celebrate the diversity of cultures and beliefs within the school.

Derby High School is delighted to have been given the highest possible ‘Excellent’ rating following a full inspection from the Independent Schools Inspectorate in January 2023. 

Derby High is a vibrant and successful school.

Year 3 have been studying the book ‘The boy who biked the world’ and were thrilled to receive a response to their questions from author and adventurer Alastair Humphreys. We were absolutely delighted that he took the time to post his responses on YouTube. Thank you Alastair Humphreys!

Last night’s Upper Sixth Leavers’ Celebration Evening was a wonderful occasion. It was a real pleasure to be able to have students, parents and staff in school for this special event. Thank you to Mr Bournon and the band for the musical accompaniment, to all of the catering team, and all the staff behind the scenes planning to ensure the event was a great success.

This group of young people have shown great resilience, strength of character, care and kindness. We are hugely proud of all that they have achieved during their time at school. We wish them well in their forthcoming exams, they are very well prepared for the challenge.
