Headteacher Welcome
Welcome to Derby Pride Academy
I am delighted and proud to serve as the Headteacher at Derby Pride Academy. It is an honour to be able to provide the students of Derby with a second chance in education, helping them realise their potential and achieve their academic goals. As a staff we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive and succeed.

‘Retained Outstanding’
What Ofsted Say
We are proud to share our most recent Ofsted report in which Derby Pride Academy is described as the pupils’ “safe place” and praised for its nurturing, positive and respectful environment, which helps pupils’ behaviour and attendance improve rapidly. Derby Pride Academy has an “exceptional strength” in building pupils’ character and resilience and that pupils’ behaviour is transformed because of the effective measures the school takes, according to the inspectors’ newly-published report.
