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.
[edit] Building Expansion
Due to the College's recent status change from City Technology College to City Academy, a greater intake for each year, plus an expanded sixth-form is required. This expansion will bring the total number of pupils in the academy to 1120. To cope with the extra students, a new "Learning Centre" is under construction as of 20 November 2006. The new learning centre will include a Business Enterprise Centre, E-learning Centre, Presentation Suite, Art and Design Studios and teacher training facility whereby a classroom can be electronically via cameras and microphones to aid teacher development. The new learning centre is due to be completed by the end of July 2007. [1]
