Tibshelf Community School
In November 2007, Ofsted placed Deincourt Community School under 'special measures', due to inspectors' concerns about falling standards at the school. In 2008 the school was earmarked for closure with the 473 students at the school possibly being transferred to the newly-built Tibshelf Community School. Should these plans go ahead, the site could be partly used to construct a new £6.5m building for a new, combined primary school in the village.
Derbyshire County Council plans to close Deincourt Community School as part of its Building Schools for the Future scheme; it is proposed that the catchment areas of Tupton Hall School and Tibshelf Community School will be extended.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or school:
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
