- **5/5** — Excellent school with great staff!: I have two children who have attended Derby Moor, and I have always been impressed with the care and support they have received. The staff are dedicated, friendly and approachable, and the school's emphasis on employability skills has been particularly helpful in preparing my children for the world of work. I would highly recommend this school to any parent. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings: My child has been attending Derby Moor for a year now, and while I appreciate the school's focus on community and diversity, I have some concerns about the teaching quality and the amount of homework. The facilities are excellent, but I feel that the school could do more to engage parents in the learning process. Overall, it's an average experience. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent experience so far!: My child has been at Derby Moor for 2 years now, and I must say, we have been thoroughly impressed with the teaching staff, facilities and the overall approach to education. The values of 'Achievement', 'Aspiration', 'High Expectations' and 'Community' are truly embedded in the school culture. My child is thriving and I feel confident that they are getting a great education. *(Jun 2022)*
