About Tibshelf Community School
Tibshelf Community School is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational, community secondary school without sixth form situated in Alfreton, Derbyshire, who opened on a brand new £17m purpose built site in November 2013.
We were inspected by Ofsted (September 2021) and were judged to be a ‘Good’ school in all categories.
We are a popular, over-subscribed, 820 strong 11-16 school serving a rural area of North East Derbyshire. We draw students from a geographically dispersed catchment area of nine villages. The official PAN is 150 students per year group but numbers are well above this in all year groups. The proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is very low and significantly below national averages. 30% of the intake are ‘disadvantaged’ and are supported through Pupil Premium funding; 43 pupils have an EHC Plan, including a number of pupils with ASD. The school’s deprivation index is very close to the national average, but it is in the top third within Derbyshire LA and contains a number of wards with extremely high levels of deprivation. Prior attainment data suggests that students are close to national average.
