Derry Hill School was founded in 1842. Since then it has been granted Aided status under the 1944 Education Act, which enables it to remain faithful to its original Church of England foundation - taking into account changing circumstances. The majority of the governors represent the Church of England.
To offer all our children a challenging, creative curriculum, seeking the highest standards and developing a stimulating and secure learning environment, embracing Christian understanding of everyone's needs and differences, achieved through effective communication and leadership.
At Derry Hill C of E (VA) Primary School it is very important that we strive to provide our children with an outstanding education, and as a church school we believe our children receive this education in a school environment that is distinctively Christian in character; which reflects God's love for humanity through the Christian message.

The governors are responsible, together with the head teacher for the long-term strategic direction of the school. The role of the Governing Body is to act collectively in the best interest of the children, ensuring the good conduct of the school and promoting high standards of educational achievement.
We are a group of Mums (Dads are of course more than welcome!) who work together to organise and run events to raise money to help enhance the facilities and experiences our children have at the school. New members are always welcome, and we always need volunteers to help out at events on an ad hoc basis.
Derry Hill School strives for excellence. We adopt a variety of approaches to children's learning, using class, group and individual teaching as appropriate. Sometimes areas of learning are taught as separate subjects whilst at other times, we adopt a more creative curriculum and use topics of interest.
