Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is a comprehensive school located in the town of Belper, Derbyshire, England. It has Foundation School status and is a specialist Technology College. In 2007, Ofsted reported that it was a 'good' school, while in 2009 it was deemed 'satisfactory' due to a dip in academic achievement/teaching standards. The deliberately caring policy of the school has ensured that the school remains above average in performance scores beyond academic achievement. Particularly extensive facilities have been made for the arts, catering and foreign languages. It has received Healthy Schools status and the Artsmark Gold award. The current headteacher is Trevor Harding.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
