Landau Forte College
About Landau Forte College
Landau Forte College sits in Derby as the only secondary school in the local authority to hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating, a distinction that sets it apart among the 17 state secondaries in the area. Its closest peer, Littleover Community School, ranks highest among the top three local competitors, followed by Saint Benedict, A Catholic Voluntary Academy and Murray Park Community School. With 1,247 pupils on roll, the school operates as a mixed, non-faith 11-19 institution under headteacher Alison Brannick. The school’s facilities include a theatre, music rooms, science labs, a sixth form centre and even a chapel, while its sports offering extends beyond the usual to rowing, swimming and cross country. Clubs such as drama, debate and Young Enterprise suggest a school that encourages pupils to stretch beyond the classroom, though the data doesn’t reveal how oversubscribed it is or what its admissions criteria look like.
