History

Grammar schools

Manning Grammar School for Girls, was originally part of the High Pavement Grammar School until 1931, when it moved into new buildings on Gregory Boulevard. High Pavement had previously been coeducational from 1898. [2] It opened in April 1931. [3] It was evacuated with High Pavement to Mansfield in the war. [4] [5] The two schools had joint theatre productions in the 1960s and 1970s. And there were marriages. [6] It moved in 1983 to a former school, when local schools closed. [7] [8] [9]

Nottinghamshire Education Committee bought the Brincliffe School for Girls in 1920 for £3,400. [10] In 1960 there were plans to rebuild the school as a £195,547 three-form technical grammar school. [11] Many parents protested, in 1973 and 1974, about the planned closure planned for 1975. Nottingham's schools now are the second-lowest at GCSE in England. [12] [13] [14]

Comprehensive

Previously a community school administered by Nottingham City Council, Manning Comprehensive School converted to academy status on 1 September 2011 and was renamed Nottingham Girls' Academy. The school is sponsored by the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust, [15] however Nottingham Girls' Academy continues to coordinate with Nottingham City Council for admissions.

Nottingham Girls' Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, [16] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs. [17]
