Stuart Reece, Chair of Governors at Derby Pride Academy, has once again demonstrated his commitment to the community by spearheading a festive gift-giving initiative aimed at spreading holiday cheer to students and staff alike.
In the spirit of the season, Mr. Reece organised the distribution of Christmas gifts to ensure that everyone at the academy felt the warmth of the holidays. The initiative, now a beloved tradition at the academy, focuses on fostering a sense of inclusion and joy among the school’s diverse community.

Students and staff have expressed their gratitude for the gesture, with many highlighting how such acts of kindness enrich the school’s supportive and inclusive atmosphere.
One student shared:
“It means a lot to know that people care and want to make us happy during this time of year. It makes school feel like a family.”
As the academy wraps up the year with this heartwarming celebration, it serves as a reminder of the power of giving and the joy it brings to both givers and receivers.
