School System
The current school system uses 'vertical tutoring' where there are representatives from all years (7-11) in the form groups, with houses instead of years being used. There are five houses, taking inspiration from the Olympic values and rings, these are; Solidarity (Red), Participation (Black), Honour (Yellow), Dedication (Blue) and Spirit (Green). Each house has its own 'house manager' who looks after the eleven forms within the house.
On the 1st January 2010 the school became a Foundation School this allowed the school greater control over its finances. At the same time it established a trust (Derby Pride Trust) which has charitable status. The trust partners are, at the moment, Derby County Football Club, Ivy House Special School, NHS Derby City and Derby City Council Sport & Leisure. A joint venture, as part of the trust, between Derby Moor and DCFC will see the Derby Pride Academy open as the first free school in Derby.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or system:
“What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.”
—Consultative Committee On The Prima. Report of the Consultative Committee on the Primary School (HADOW)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
