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

Bilateral school

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

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

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.
