A coeducational day and boarding school for children aged 3-18 years, situated in beautiful rural Derbyshire. Boarding is for boys and girls from age 9. Our young people are confident and inquisitive, leaving school highly qualified and well-equipped to succeed at university and in professional life.
We aim to develop individual potential and self-worth through stimulating and positive relationships and through an understanding of Christian values so that our pupils are prepared for the changes they will face in their future lives.
Our Aims
- To develop the individual’s full potential through the pursuit of excellence.
- To develop independent thought and a sense of responsibility in preparation for adult life.
- To nurture positive relationships within a caring and supportive environment.
Community spirit is at the heart of our school. Traditional values combined with outstanding pastoral care providing the best possible educational experience for our students.
We were established in 1799 by the Moravian Church and are one of the oldest schools in the UK. Today, we retain links with our Moravian foundations through our Christian ethos, whilst welcoming pupils of all ethnic, religious, and culturally diverse backgrounds.
We value the individuality of all our students. You and your child enjoy a place within friendly and welcoming surroundings, offering academic rigor and variety. We welcome boarders and acknowledge the positive impact that boarding has on our overall community, increasing cultural diversity and adding to our friendly outlook.
We are consistently placed among the top schools in the region’s performance tables and are in the top tier of independent schools nationally. We are large enough to boast a broad curriculum with specialist staff members and modern facilities, yet small enough to retain a personal approach to teaching under which our students flourish.
Every year a large number of our pupils continue their academic undertakings in higher education, often gaining entry to Russell Group Universities, a band of top-level universities internationally recognized for their academic excellence. At Ockbrook School we facilitate the all-around development of our students, both academically and personally.
We prepare them so that they leave us ready to embrace life beyond school and all that it holds for them. Achieving these goals demands that we invest in, and are equipped with, the most modern teaching methodologies and resources. We view our campus as a dynamic environment where continuous investment in staff development, learning facilities, and resources enables our students to enjoy the best that learning has to offer.
