The Newark Academy (formerly The Grove School) is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located over two sites in the English county of Nottinghamshire.[1]
The main campus of the school is located in Balderton, at the original site of The Grove School. In 2008 The Grove School merged with Newark High School in Newark-on-Trent, and today the sixth form campus of The Newark Academy is located at the former Newark High School site. Previously a community school administered by Nottinghamshire County Council, The Grove School converted to academy status on 1 November 2012 and was renamed The Newark Academy. However the school continues to coordinate with Nottinghamshire County Council for admissions.
The Newark Academy offers GCSEs, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils,[2] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels. The Newark Academy offers some sixth form courses in conjunction with the Newark campus of Lincoln College (known as Newark College).[3]
