Shirebrook Academy (formerly Shirebrook School) is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Shirebrook in the English county of Derbyshire.[1]
Previously a community school administered by Derbyshire County Council, the school converted to academy status in September 2010 and was renamed Shirebrook Academy. The school is sponsored by Sheffield Hallam University,[2] but continues to coordinate with Derbyshire County Council for admissions.
Shirebrook Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. The school has joined a consortium with The Bolsover School, Heritage High School and Springwell Community College to form Aspire Sixth Form, a sixth form provision that has operated across all the school sites since September 2014.[3]
Shirebrook Academy relocated into new buildings in April 2013.[4] The building is shared with Stubbin Wood School, a special school for children ages 2 to 16 who have learning disabilities.[5]
