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:
“Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.”
—John Lukacs (b. 1924)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
