Contents

The school is operated by Outwood Grange Academies Trust, and the principal is Toby Rutter. [1]

History

The school was opened in 1921, set up by the West Riding County Council's Education Committee and was known as Hemsworth Grammar School. [2] (It is not to be confused with Archbishop Holgate's grammar school, founded in Hemsworth in 1546, which moved to Barnsley in 1888.) It was renamed Hemsworth High School when the school became comprehensive. In 2001, the school gained specialist status as an Arts College and was renamed Hemsworth Arts and Community College. The school converted to academy status in August 2013 and was renamed Hemsworth Arts and Community Academy. It was sponsored by the Wakefield City Academies Trust, [3] a multi-academy trust.

Hemsworth Arts and Community Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs. [4] The school also offers adult education courses to the local community. [5]

On 1 May 2018, the school became part of Outwood Grange Academies Trust, reopening as Outwood Academy Hemsworth. [1]
