History Summer 1947: The roll was made by Mr K S Cook of the Derby School of Arts and Crafts and prepared for installation at the King St premises of the school. 1966: Derby School moved to a new building at Littleover and the roll was affixed to the wall of the assembly hall. 1974: The school was changed from a grammar school to a comprehensive school. September 1989: The school was renamed Derby Moor Community School. 2004: The school was renamed Derby Moor Community Sports College. 2012: The school hall and adjacent chapel were demolishedl; the roll was removed from the wall and placed into temporary storage but the glass was broken in the process.
