Following on from 10 years as a specialist Technology College, de Ferrers became an Academy in January 2012. It has grown into a large, split-site, co-educational institution catering for the full range of students from ages 11-18. In 2015 The de Ferrers Academy became a Multi Academy Trust (MAT). Since then, four of our partner primary schools converted to academies within the Trust; Horninglow Primary, Lansdowne Infant, Eton Park Junior and Richard Wakefield (C.E.) Academies. Together with The Pingle Academy and Granville Academy in South Derbyshire, we are now a trust of 7 academies crossing between the Staffordshire and Derbyshire boarders.
