Joseph Whitaker School is a secondary school with academy status in Rainworth near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in England. Over 1,300 students are taught there, by a staff body of over 100. The current headmaster is Mr D. Bell, who took over from Mr R. Martlew in 2015.[1] The school takes its name from Joseph Whitaker, a naturalist who lived in Rainworth at Rainworth Lodge.[2] The school also has its own sixth form college for Post-16 A-Level studies, offering a multitude of subject areas. The school has invested heavily in the Post-16 facilities, with the opening of a flagship £1,000,000 Sixth Form Centre in November 2012 containing multiple new teaching rooms, a media suite, various study areas and a Sixth Form café. All Post-16 students have access to the school's on-site fitness suite as part of their membership to the sixth form.
