About Belper School and Sixth Form Centre

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre photo

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is an exceptional place. We combine strong academic standards, a rich and inspirational curriculum, and a caring and supportive ethos to provide the best education we can for our wonderful students. We also like to think we are a great place to work, and Ofsted agreed. (“Staff are happy and proud to work at the school. Leaders are considerate of staff’s workload and well-being” OFSTED, 2022)

The school has been proud to serve the thriving community of Belper and surrounding villages for
over 50 years. Belper in Derbyshire is on the edge of the Peak District with good road and rail links to
other parts of the country. It is situated in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site and has previously won the Best High Street and Market Town in the UK award. Belper has a creative and inclusive community and hosts an annual arts festival and a very popular Pride event.

Our vision is encapsulated in the phrase “Create Your Future. Be who you are and become who you aspire to be” and this vision guides our educational direction. We want to provide our students with the qualifications, knowledge, and skills they need to have happy and successful lives. We know that our students leave Belper well prepared to thrive as adults and we are proud of what our alumni achieve; from international athletes, to space engineers, from creative professionals, to self- employed entrepreneurs and much, much more. To provide the best education we can, we understand how important it is to recruit, retain and invest in our staff. We see our school as one community of families, students, teaching staff, support staff, leadership staff, and governors all
working together.

We prioritise staff wellbeing and understand how this links to our staff retention remaining high. The Senior Leadership Team are always visible in school, working hard to bring out the best in our staff. We have a strong and committed governing body who take their roles and responsibilities seriously.

At Belper School we believe passionately in an inclusive approach to education and in promoting the personal development of every student. We have a distinctive ethos, which marks us out from many other schools. While we value academic achievement and strong exam results, we also believe it is our duty to create responsible citizens for the future. Self-respect and respect for others are central to that belief.
We keep the students at the school central to the decisions we make. Visitors often comment on the very positive feel of the school. Their conduct in lessons and around the site is excellent. (“Lessons
are calm and orderly” OFSTED, 2022) Belper is a school where teachers can truly focus on teaching.

Commitment to safeguarding

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. As these post involve regulated activity, references and online searches will be conducted for shortlisted candidates, successful appointments are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and relevant recruitment checks that comply with guidance in the most recent version of Keeping Children Safe in Education. We are committed to equality of opportunity in employment and services.
