John Port School - Admissions

Admissions

With the current number of students around the 2100 mark it puts John Port as the largest secondary school in Derbyshire, and one of the largest nationally. The Head teacher is Mrs Wendy Sharp.

John Port is a mixed school, with the student age range between 11 and 16, and with the John Port 6th Form taking students from the ages of 16 to 18. However, even with the large size of the school a very real sense of community is maintained through each year being split into 12 forms. A child on entry to the school joins a form into which they stay until they leave in Year 11. Each form generally has the same personal tutor that is there for and follows their form through their years at JP. Each year also has a Head of Year and Deputies, to whom authority of the year is given to.

There are approximately 140 full time and temporary members of the teaching staff.
