Earl opens new academy

A special opening ceremony took place when the Earl of Derby officially opened a new Academy and was keen to state that having met the Dean Trust team, he was confident to put his name against the school. Headteacher, Mr Barry Bridden, who in his short time in office, has made significant impact said: “Respect is paramount and this has resulted in a 3% increase in attendance and a huge decrease in behaviour issues. We believe that Lord Derby Academy will become the school of choice for Knowsley parents, just as our other schools within The Dean Trust.”
