We are CoDA and we are proud.

At the City of Derby Academy, our vision is to improve the life chances of all students.

At CoDA, everyone is important.  Everyone here is different, and that’s normal. People learn in different ways, face different challenges, and bring different strengths, but we all belong to our CoDA community. ​

CoDA is a place where everyone feels safe and cared for. At our school you are expected to work hard, be yourself, and look out for each other—because when everyone feels supported, everyone does better. We maintain the highest standards, have the highest aspirations and believe anything is possible because ..."We are CoDA"
