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[edit]

Bilateral school[edit]

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[edit]

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.
