Hope Valley College

A comprehensive secondary school in the beautiful Peak District, with consistently high GCSE results. We know each of our 570 students by name, so can provide the expert teaching and support they deserve.

We are deeply ambitious for our students, combining a broad and balanced curriculum with an inclusive ethos - all within a stunning countryside location.

We also have a small Post-16 Pathways, area-wide provision for young people with specific learning difficulties or special educational needs.

We attract students from across Derbyshire and our stunning countryside location.

If you are considering a career in teaching it is important that you are able to demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm by gaining classroom experience prior to submitting an application via the DFE Apply for Teacher Training service.
