Noel-Baker Community School and Language College (as it became known from September 2005) is a mixed comprehensive secondary school in Alvaston, Derby, UK. As of 2005, it is currently oversubscribed, with approximately 2000 students on roll, making it the biggest secondary school in the city of Derby. The school takes students from the Alvaston, Boulton, Crewton and Keldholme areas of the city.
As well as catering for 11-16 year olds (years 7-11), the school also has a Sixth Form for 16-18 year olds. The Sixth Form offers A-Levels and GNVQs in various subjects. There are currently 150 A-Level students.
In September 2004 the school was awarded specialist school status as a Language College, by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).[1]
History
The school was founded in 1960 as a Technical Grammar School, with pupils who passed the 11,12&13 plus and pupils from Allenton Technical School. It is named after the late Philip Noel-Baker, Olympic athlete, Derby South MP and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
During the 1970s, the school functioned well under the firm leadership of the headteacher, Glynn John (known affectionately by the pupils as 'Nunk').
However, during the early 1980s, after his retirement, the school declined and was considered the 'worst in the city'[citation needed]. This was due to very low exam results and to an increasing number of students who were turning to hard drugs, including heroin. The school drastically turned around when a new headteacher, Mr Geoff Wynne stepped in, in the late 1980s. He took the school's GCSE results from 9% A-Cs in 1989 to 32% in 2002 when he retired. The schools GCSE results have continued to improve[2] thanks to John Charles (closely matched to the National Average).
Dr. Paul Davies then took the role of head master from the improved school, attempting to improve GCSE grades, however he was unsuccessful during the 2005/06 term in which he failed to improve on the previous year's scores, due to an increased number of strikes by the teachers over a pay dispute in the time leading up to the exams. However, Dr. Paul Davies left the position of head master to join the Local Authority as Head of Secondary Learning[3] following his departure Margaret Eley took the position of Acting Headteacher in the interim period.
In 2009 Mal Kerr, of Wirksworth, became Headteacher following the closure of his previous school Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College where he was the School Leader. [4]
The school has featured in the news when a 12 year old student was killed in a car accident after smoking cannabis[5].
In the 2005 Ofsted reports, Noel-Baker was found to contain "A large proportion of students come from areas of relatively high social and economic deprivation." as well as being deemed "well above average size for secondary schools nationally". [6]
