It has received Healthy Schools status and the Artsmark Gold award. The current headteacher is Mr Nick Goforth.[2]
Admissions
Belper School is larger than average,[1] catering for 1,311 students as of academic year 2015–2016, a 10.5% reduction since 2012–2013 when the school taught 1169 students between 11 and 18 years old – a decrease attributed by the headteacher to variations in birth rate.[3] The majority of the school is white British with below average numbers of cared-for children and children identified as having special educational needs or disability.[1]
Chemical spill and fire
On Wednesday 17 September 2004, the school made national news after a chemical spill occurred within the Science department. Iodine crystals were dropped by a teacher when they collided with a student in a corridor. As a result, two pupils had minor burns and 36 were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.[4]
