Background:
Deincourt Community School in a large, semi-rural village on the outskirts of Chesterfield. Its catchment area includes a number of localised villages which were all part of the old mining community. There is currently a high degree of unemployment in the area, but regeneration projects are beginning to address this. It has been recognised as an improving school and received a DfEE award in 2001, having been removed from special measures in 2000. The school maintains extensive community links, for example with a multi-agency group that deals with student welfare and links with the local Chamber of Commerce, training providers and colleges and a multi-professional youth provision group. The school aims to be at the leading edge of innovation and creativity within education.
