We all want our children to be safe, respectful, confident, resilient, and successful in everything that they do.

Education should be an extremely rich experience and not just a preparation for the next stage of life. At Eckington School, our aim is to develop confident, well-qualified young people who fully understand the importance of education and the link between a successful education and increased chances of success in adulthood.

Our well-qualified school leaders, teachers and support staff work together with students and parents to create an outstanding team with one common purpose: to maximise every child’s potential.

 Eckington is a secondary school and sixth form with over 1,200 students, located in the north-east of Derbyshire. The school benefits from a semi rural location on the outskirts of the Derbyshire village of Eckington, whilst being sited close to the border with Sheffield. The Eckington site is constructed around a central courtyard area, giving a college campus feel to the school.

Eckington Sixth Form

Our growing Sixth Form delivers a wide range of A-level and vocational courses. It is housed in a dedicated Sixth Form facility offering separate learning and study spaces. Each year we welcome not only Eckington students but also young people from other local secondary schools. This rich mix of aspirational students fosters a vibrant and exciting post-16 learning environment. Many students progress to university or high-level apprenticeships via workplace training providers.
