Headteacher’s Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Derby Cathedral School, where I am proud to serve as Headteacher. Our school is a vibrant, values-led community built on high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve remarkable success. Inspired by John 10:10 - “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”, we are committed to ensuring that our students experience life in all its fullness.

Learning here is shaped by both rigour and joy. Through our FAITH values, we set ambitious standards for behaviour and academic achievement, knowing that with clear structure, dedication, and support, every student can excel. Alongside academic challenge, we nurture character - fostering curiosity, resilience, and integrity so that our students grow into capable and compassionate contributors to society.

Our aim is simple: to help every young person flourish - academically, personally, and spiritually so that they leave us with the knowledge, character, and confidence to shape their world for the better.

We invite you to explore our website, discover more about our school, and contact us to see how we can support you and your child.

Mr A. Brown
