Derby Moor Academy, the successor school to Derby Moor Community Sports College Trust, formerly known as Derby Moor Community School, is a secondary school situated on Moorway Lane, Littleover, Derby. It was established in January 2018 when the school converted to Academy status and joined the Spencer Academies Trust. It can be also be seen as the successor to Derby School, which closed in 1989, resulting in Derby Moor opening in the same year with a new head teacher and governing body, although the buildings, pupils and most of the teaching staff were the same.
The school now consists of one building. Mr Graeme Smith is the current Principal.
The school has its own sixth form, established in 2013. Prior to this, the school had a joint sixth form centre, The Millennium Centre, with neighbouring school Littleover Community School, which opened in 1999. Ivy House Special School is also located on the same site but in separate buildings.
The current school system uses horizontal tutoring, with 10 tutor groups in each year (15 in year 11). There are five houses, taking inspiration from the Olympic values and rings, these are; Solidarity (Red), Participation (Black), Honour (Yellow), Dedication (Blue) and Spirit (Green). Each house has its own 'house manager' who looks after the forms within the house.
On 1 January 2010 the school became a Foundation School this allowed the school greater control over its finances. At the same time it established a trust (Derby Pride Trust) which has charitable status. The trust partners are, at the moment, Derby County Football Club, Ivy House Special School, NHS Derby City and Derby City Council Sport & Leisure. A joint venture, as part of the trust, between Derby Moor and DCFC saw the Derby Pride Academy opened as the first free school in Derby.
The houses of the school; Solidarity, Participation, Honour, Dedication and Spirit, are linked with different areas of the curriculum or faculty, meaning that the forms are based in a certain subject area with the form tutor teaching within it. The houses correspond as follows:
