Derby High School

We are an independent day school
serving Derbyshire and East Staffordshire.
Nurturing, inspiring & supporting students to achieve their full potential.

Our friendly, happy Primary School welcomes girls and boys aged between 3 and 11 whilst our busy, ambitious Senior School currently educates girls only up to age 18.  We are delighted to announce that from September 2019 we will welcome boys into the Senior School at Year 7 and Year 12 (Lower Sixth).

Our Sixth Form welcomes both Derby High students and those who have completed their GCSE studies elsewhere.
