Derby Moor Community Sports College Trust, formerly known as Derby Moor Community Sports College and Derby Moor Community School, is a secondary school and specialist Sports College situated on Moorway Lane, Littleover, Derby. It can be seen as the successor to Derby School, which closed in 1989, resulting in Derby Moor opening in the same year with a new head teacher and governing body. Although the buildings, pupils and most of the teaching staff were the same.
The school will consist of one building, once refurbishment is complete, but presently has four main buildings, Derwent Building, the Millennium Centre, Stenson Building and Cromford Building. Ms W. M. Whelan is the current Headteacher, whilst Mr M Shales and Mr N Jameieson are the Deputy Headteachers.
The school has a joint sixth form centre, The Millennium Centre, with neighbouring school Littleover Community School, which opened in 1999. Ivy House Special School is also located on the same site but in separate buildings.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
