[edit] Building expansion
Due to the College's recent status change from City Technology College to Academy, a greater intake for each year, plus an expanded sixth-form, is required. This expansion will bring the total number of students in the academy to over 1,200. To cope with the extra students, a new "Learning Centre" has been built. The new learning centre includes a Business Enterprise Centre, E-learning Centre, Presentation Suite, Art and Design Studios and teacher training facility whereby a classroom can be viewed electronically via cameras and microphones to aid teacher development. The new learning centre[4] was completed for the 2007/08 academic year. In 2008, the intake of students has again increased from taking 150 year 7 students to 168 students per year.[5]
[edit] Landau Forte Charitable Trust
Landau Forte Charitable Trust is the educational trust that runs Landau Forte College Derby as well as other Landau Forte Academies located in Tamworth, Staffordshire.[6]
