Derby Moor Community Sports College
Derby, Gb
My choosing to become involved with Secondary education on a voluntary basis 25 years after leaving school was something of a surprise to many people – not least of all me! However, when my son joined the Year 7 intake at Derby Moor, I felt a compulsion to offer my services and make a contribution to his education in some small way.Serving as a School Governor has been a most rewarding and inspiring experience. I hadn’t anticipated the complexities of Governance and the challenges that the role would present, but equally, I had not appreciated the level of dedication, talent and commitment that exists within the School’s leadership and teaching staff, and the pervasive capability of the students. Governors at Derby Moor are committed to driving the improvement of standards within the school and supporting the leadership team in creating a caring and safe environment where motivation, inspiration and opportunity prevail.Our school has tremendous potential to continue upon its current path of record breaking improvement. We maintain a focus on ‘learning to learn’, providing students not only with the opportunity to attain great results but also the capacity to discover for themselves.The union between students, staff, parents, governors and our Trust Members is an extremely powerful one. This Derby Moor Community Sports College ‘partnership’ provides a foundation upon which our students can go on to achieve great things and build exciting futures”.
