The School

Situated in Nottingham, this academy currently educates around 820 pupils aged 11–16. The school consistently performs at or above national benchmarks.

The campus includes well-zoned subject wings; the Geography rooms are located on the first floor, adjacent to History and Social Sciences, with direct access to maps, atlases, digital data tools, and nearby outdoor spaces suitable for small-scale fieldwork. The school is also expanding with plans in place for a new extension including twelve classrooms and a three-court sports hall, reflecting growing demand and investment in the site.

Teachers at the school praise its collaborative culture, regular CPD, modern facilities, and supportive leadership.
