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]

Previously a community school administered by Nottingham City Council, William Sharp School 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 which also includes Meden School and Toot Hill School. However, Nottingham University Samworth Academy continues to coordinate with Nottingham City Council for admissions.

Nottingham University Samworth Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. The school operates a small vocational sixth form for work-related courses, and there is also a provision for pupils with special educational needs who are deaf.
