Nottingham University Samworth Academy (formerly William Sharp School) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the Bilborough area of Nottingham in the English county of Nottinghamshire.[1]

History

[edit]

Bilateral school

[edit]

Previously a community school administered by Nottingham City Council, William Sharp School, which began as a bilateral school in 1955 (it had a grammar stream).

William Sharp was the Lord Mayor of Nottingham in 1949.

Academy

[edit]

It converted to academy status on 1 September 2009 and was renamed Nottingham University Samworth Academy. The school is sponsored by the University of Nottingham and businessman Sir David Samworth,[2] and is supported by the Torch Academy Gateway Trust, a trust which oversees other Nottinghamshire schools, including Meden School and Toot Hill School.[3] However, Nottingham University Samworth Academy continues to coordinate with Nottingham City Council for admissions.

Admissions

[edit]

Nottingham University Samworth Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. The school operates a small vocational sixth form for work-related courses, and there is also a provision for pupils with special educational needs who are deaf.
