Maltby Academy is an academy school in the mining town of Maltby in South Yorkshire, England.
Admissions
The school has a sixth form. The school is below capacity in its numbers. It is situated on Braithwell Road (B6376) close to the junction with the A631. It gained academy status in January 2010. A £10.9 million In 2014, the Capital Build Programme completed, with new buildings put in place, some demolished and also refurbishments to other buildings. However, the Clock tower is still standing, and derelict.
History
The co-educational Maltby Grammar School was established in 1931, being built on the site of Rolleston Hall on Rotherham Road (A631). It was officially opened on (Saturday) 16 April 1932 by Sir Percy Jackson, the Chairman of the West Riding Education Committee. The school motto was 'Per Laborem Ad Honorem'. The Maltby Hall Secondary Modern School was on Braithwell Road.
Comprehensive
Buildings were added in the 1960s to prepare the school to become a comprehensive. It became Maltby Comprehensive School, being officially opened on 7 October 1967 by Alan Bullock, the Master of St Catherine's College, Oxford and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. This was an incremental change to becoming a comprehensive, with the school becoming fully comprehensive by 1974 once all former grammar school intakes had left.
The first and only Headmaster of Maltby Grammar School was Gerald Rush, who retired when it became Maltby Comprehensive School. There were two headmasters of Maltby Grammar School, the second being Mr Arthur Dodman.
Academy
Due to several years of underperformance, the school was converted to a sponsored academy in January 2010.[1] It was initially sponsored by U-Xplore, an educational technology firm, but the company's involvement ended in 2014 when the school became part of Maltby Learning Trust, a multi-academy trust.[2] The Executive Head Teacher is David Sutton; the head teacher is Rachel Nash.
Academic performance
Similar to most schools in Rotherham LEA (and most former coalfield areas), it receives GCSEs results under the England average. Maltby's results are comparable to many schools nearby (such as Dinnington). A level results are under the England average but average for Rotherham.
The Maltby Learning Trust
Maltby Academy is part of a Multi-Academy trust, named 'The Maltby Learning Trust', alongside Maltby Redwood Academy and Maltby Manor Academy, which Maltby Academy is part of with its Sports Partnership, Sixth Form and other parts of Maltby Academy.
