About Tibshelf Community School
Tibshelf Community School is a thriving, over-subscribed 11–16 secondary school, located in a stunning £17 million purpose-built site opened in November 2013. Serving a wide rural catchment across nine villages in North East Derbyshire, the school is home to over 830 students, with numbers exceeding the official PAN of 150 in every year group.
We are proud to be a school where exceptional opportunities are available to all. Our outstanding curriculum is enriched by a wide range of superb experiences that inspire ambition, creativity, and personal growth. We foster a culture of high aspiration, ensuring every student is supported to achieve their full potential, regardless of background.
Our inclusive ethos supports a diverse range of learners, including a significant proportion of students who are disadvantaged, have SEND needs, or are supported through EHCPs. We are committed to ensuring that every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
Tibshelf is a happy and supportive place to work, where staff are genuinely valued, and wellbeing is taken seriously. We believe that a strong, motivated team is key to delivering excellence for our students, and we work hard to maintain a positive, collaborative culture.
Building on a legacy of consistently ‘Good’ Ofsted judgements, we are very proud to have a highly successful inspection under the new framework in January 2026. The school achieved the Strong Standard in Personal Development and Expected Standard in all other categories. This is an excellent achievement under the renewed framework and we continue to work with ambition to gain the strong standard across the board.
We believe that children thrive when they feel happy, secure, and inspired — and we place their safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
Tibshelf Community School offers exceptional opportunities both within and beyond the classroom. Our outstanding curriculum is enriched by a wide range of superb experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and ambition. We are committed to creating a culture of high aspiration, where every student is encouraged to aim high and achieve their personal best.
Our inclusive and supportive environment ensures that all students feel safe, valued, and motivated. High levels of attendance and participation reflect the strong sense of belonging and enjoyment our students experience. We are proud to be a happy and collaborative place to work, where staff wellbeing is prioritised, and every member of the team is recognised and supported.
Our vision is to build on these strengths and continue to grow a dynamic, innovative learning community rooted in excellence, inclusion, and aspiration.
