Noel-Baker Community School
Noel-Baker Community School and Language College (as it was known from September 2005) is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in Alvaston, Derby, UK. The school takes students from the Alvaston, Boulton, Crewton and Keldholme areas of the city.
In September 2004 the school was awarded specialist school status as a Language College, by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). The impact of this award has been limited since 2004. Students were required to take on a language at GCSE, but this has proven unpopular and since been withdrawn. Recently, just before the school moved into new buildings in September 2012, the school changed its name to simply 'Noel-Baker School'.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or school:
“This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
