Landau Forte College is an Academy in Derby, England. The College was founded in 1992 as a City Technology College and its initial principal sponsors were Martin Landau and the Forte organisation. It became a City Academy on 1 September 2006[3].
[edit] Building expansion
Due to the College's recent status change from City Technology College to Academy, a greater intake for each year, plus an expanded sixth-form, is required. This expansion will bring the total number of students in the academy to over 2,000. To cope with the extra students, a new "Learning Centre" has been built. The new learning centre includes a Business Enterprise Centre, E-learning Centre, Presentation Suite, Art and Design Studios and teacher training facility whereby a classroom can be viewed electronically via cameras and microphones to aid teacher development. The new learning centre[4] was completed for the 07/08 academic year which began for existing Landau Forte students (those not in Year 7 or 12) on Wednesday 23 August 2007.[5]
