With schools remaining open for essential workers children and vulnerable children, Derby County Community Trust are pledging their support.


Community Coaches can work in your school for up to two days per week. Please note there is a limited capacity to provide this and can only offer this service whilst we have a workforce that do not need to self-isolate.

This service will be free of charge to help schools through this challenging time.This offer is for primary (infant and junior), special and secondary schools.

If demand outweighs supply we will prioritise our resources accordingly but we will do our utmost to help as many schools as we can throughout this time.

How do we express an interest in booking a DCCT Coach to provide support in our school?

What is the cost?
