The National Church of England Academy, formerly known as The National School, is a Church of England secondary school in the Ashfield district of Nottinghamshire, England.

History[]

The National Academy was a co-member of the National Tuxford Learning Community (NTLC), a non-statutory federation of the National CE and Tuxford Schools. Since this collaboration began in 2007, several other schools/academies have joined, and NTLC has been renamed Diverse Academies Trust. The name reflects the ethos of the collaboration; member schools work closely together, sharing good practice while retaining (and celebrating) their individuality and diversity. The school was given Academy Status on 1 August 2011. The academy left the Diverse Academies Trust in 2019.^{[citation needed]}

School campus[]

The school was built in two phases, in the late 1970s and early 80s. A purpose built science block was added in 2004. Playing fields look out onto open land beyond the northern edge of the town. The buildings have been well maintained; recently, the school was awarded funds by the EFA to upgrade heating, roofing, and security. The site is landscaped and green.

Academic performance[]

In 2016, the school's performance was above the national average at both Key Stage 4 and 5.^[1] At Key Stage 5, there was a 100% pass rate; 79% of grades were A*-C; 56% were A*-B and 36% were at grade A*/A.
