It is a great privilege to lead our fantastic school - albeit currently in challenging times. My aim is always to give the best educational experience possible in an inspirational setting. We are fully committed to offering a top-class education - on-line or in school - which keeps abreast of national and international trends.

Our COVID-19 response is a measured one, which keeps the health and safety of all staff, students and their families at the heart of all we do. We are currently open for critical worker and vulnerable family children to ensure we continue to support our community in these unprecedented times. In addition, we have a comprehensive plan and risk assessment in place for our phased return of our students.

Our strapline: 'Proud to be here', encompasses how we feel about working at Murray Park as we implement our mission of: 'Supporting students in gaining a positive outlook, shaping their futures and reaching their full potential'. It also sits hand in hand with our values: Perseverance, Respect, Independence, Dreams and Excellence.

We offer an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum from Years 7 to 11, which involves equipping our students with skills and knowledge for adult life. We have opened up the chance for students to gain the EBacc, as well as offering a variety of courses such as GCSE Ancient History, Statistics, Engineering, BTEC Hair and Beauty, Construction and AS Politics to name just a few.

Our students can take advantage of many opportunities on offer through local Derby businesses, giving them a vision for their own futures and motivating them to work hard and achieve to the best of their ability.
