About Djanogly City Academy

Djanogly City Academy is a secondary school in Nottingham that is significantly oversubscribed, with 401 applications for 207 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.94. Of those, 135 were first-preference applications, all of which received offers. The school currently has 1,246 pupils on roll against a stated capacity of 750, so it is operating well above its original design number. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 46.7%, which is notably high and reflects the school's role in serving a local community with above-average economic disadvantage. The school is non-denominational, with a religious character listed as 'does not apply', and it is a mixed secondary with a sixth form. The headteacher is Andrew Smith, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024 rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding grade for its sixth-form provision.
