Derby Grammar School
Derby Grammar School, an entirely new school founded in 1994, is an independent school which includes a Junior department. It occupies the 18th century Rykneld Hall on Rykneld Road in Littleover (previously Rykneld Hospital) and has around 300 pupils.
With the agreement of the Committee of the Old Derbeian Society, Derby Grammar School has adopted a heraldic badge devised by the Reverend Walter Clark in 1883 for Derby School, which it used until the badge was replaced by a coat of arms granted by the College of Arms in 1952. The 1952 coat of arms fell into disuse when Derby School closed in 1989.
Membership of the Old Derbeian Society was extended in the late 1990s to now be open to all former pupils of the new Derby Grammar School, deemed to be the next generation of Old Derbeians. See Aims and Objectives of OD Society
