About Nottingham Academy
Nottingham Academy is a large, mixed, all-through state school in the Nottingham local authority, serving pupils from age 3 to 19. It is one of 21 state secondary schools in the area, only three of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school’s most recent inspection graded it as Requires Improvement, placing it well behind the three highest-ranked peers in the local authority: Fernwood School, Nottingham Free School, and The Trinity Catholic School A Voluntary Academy. Fernwood School leads the local rankings with a score of 0.6, followed by Nottingham Free School at 0.29 and The Trinity Catholic School at 0.1. While Nottingham Academy does not appear among these top performers, its all-through structure from early years to sixth form and its non-denominational character make it a distinctive option in the city. The school is led by joint headteachers Jessie Elbaz and Andrew Staszkiewicz.
