The vision at the City of Derby Academy is to ‘improve the life chances of all students’. We passionately believe that this will happen when students experience a curriculum, which suits their individual strengths, potential and aspirations. In addition, our curriculum aims to inspire and challenge all students and prepare them for the future.
Parents/Carers or members of the public can find out more about the curriculum our school is following by contacting the school and asking to speak to Mrs C Russell, Assistant Headteacher.
Our ‘Curriculum Intent’ is to help our students develop the knowledge and skills they need to become successful and responsible citizens in modern Britain.
