Our School What is the Old Vicarage School and what makes it so special? Welcome to the Old Vicarage School site we are delighted that you would like to learn more about our community.
Established as an independent school in 1933, today the Old Vicarage School is Derby's only family-run school and remains truly independent of secondary schools in the area, giving parents the opportunity to see how their child progresses and develops before choosing the next stage of their education.
"Character and Kindness" pervades all we do and this becomes apparent as you meet the children and staff around the site. OVS is a feeling, and the best way to experience that is to come and visit.
