About David Nieper Academy
David Nieper Academy
Grange Street, Alfreton
Derbyshire
DE55 7JA
United Kingdom
David Nieper Academy is a co-educational secondary academy, formerly known as Alfreton Grange Art College. The school itself was first established in 1939, and adopted its current name in 2016 following its conversion into an academy. The school is currently managed by the Christopher Nieper Education Trust, an academy trust responsible for the running of David Nieper Academy. We are a growing school now of 780 students 11-18 and will soon be at our full capacity of 850 students 11-18, David Nieper Academy is larger than the average secondary school that covers an economically diverse catchment area, a fact reflected in the school's student intake.
Headteacher
Mr Richard White
Values and Vision
David Nieper Academy has undergone a significant amount of change and re-organisation since becoming an academy in mid-2016. As such, the school is working hard in order to manage the transition to an academy, and keeps the needs of each individual student paramount. The school is committed to providing a range of opportunities for pupils from all backgrounds, and is currently in the process of developing a brand-new teaching block and sports facilities, including football, netball and cricket pitches, with plans existing for further development to be decided in the near future.
Ofsted
Our September 2022 Ofsted Inspection graded the academy as 'Good in all areas', a fantastic improvement from the 'inadequate' Ofsted rating when we took over the academy - and we endeavour to build on this as we grow and develop further.
