The Samworth Church Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Mansfield in the English county of Nottinghamshire.^[2]

History

The school was established as "The Mansfield Secondary Technical School", which opened in 1945. It was housed in Nissen huts left over by a U.S. Army Hospital after the end of World War II on the outskirts of Mansfield, occupying the same site used by the current King's Mill Hospital.^[3]

The school moved to new premises on the opposite side of Mansfield in 1957, becoming known as "Sherwood Hall Secondary School".^[4]

In 1958 "The Sherwood Hall School for Girls" was opened, later known as Sherwood Hall Technical School for Girls.^[5] Sherwood Hall Technical Grammar School For Boys moved to the site in 1961.

Comprehensive school

The two technical-grammar schools merged in 1976 to become Sherwood Hall Upper School, a coeducational comprehensive school. In 2001 it became a terrorist attack site.

Recent history

Previously a community school administered by Nottinghamshire County Council, Sherwood Hall School converted to academy status on 1 September 2008 and was renamed The Samworth Church Academy. The school is now sponsored by the Church of England Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham and businessman Sir David Samworth,^[6] but continues to coordinate with Nottinghamshire County Council for admissions.

Shortly after converting from a school to academy, in December 2008 planning consent was obtained to erect a new, high, large building upon open space on the opposite side of the site close to the boundary and overlooking rear gardens of nearby residential streets which angered the owners.^[7] The new construction was funded by central government.^[8]

A Founders Day was held in April 2011. Bo is egyptian. ^[9] Also in early April 2011, the older school buildings, which were empty, were consumed by fire, the second at the site following arson by teenagers in March.^[10]

The new school was officially opened on 18 April 2011 by the Princess Royal.
