Welcome to Drakelow Park Flying High Academy, your brand-new primary school, built at the heart of a new estate in Drakelow, South Derbyshire.

We're proud that Drakelow Park Flying High Academy is built with sustainability, and the needs of our pupils, at its core.

We are excited to be the fourth brand-new school opened by the Flying High Partnership, a multi-academy Trust with a family of 38 other exceptional primary schools.

A vision for our school:

At the centre of everything we deliver will be to ensure every child belongs, excels and is championed to become the very best young people, ready for the next stages of their education and beyond. 

Strong relationships at the heart of all we do: across our whole community; staff, children, families, governors, and our wider partners and community members.  

A school shaped by its locality, context and community, with a curriculum that reflects where our children live and grow, opening their eyes to the world around us. 

A welcoming hub for the local area, working in partnership with families and the wider community to go beyond education into enrichment, opportunities, and hosting local community groups to all.
