We are so very proud to have achieved the Silver level of the National SMSC Quality Mark. SMSC stands for Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural and as a school it is key to our philosophy.
SMSC provides students with spiritual, moral, social and cultural educational opportunities supporting us in “improving the life chances of all students.” SMSC is an integral part of learning at the City of Derby Academy. Our staff encourage pupils to enjoy their learning, to know right from wrong, to work together and to celebrate diversity.
