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:
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
