Education in Nottingham

Education in Nottingham is governed by the unitary authority of Nottingham, overseen by its Nottingham City Council.

Early years

The Nottinghamshire LEA was created by the Education Act 1902. Nottinghamshire Education Committee took over from the school boards on 1 July 1903.

Schools

Until 1998, the schools were administered by Nottinghamshire County Council, based on the banks of the River Trent, in Rushcliffe.

School academic results

The unitary authority has not excelled in recent years, but seemed to have elevated marginally in the results league tables. Unfortunately when the exam league tables were reformed (removing modules, and disallowing repeated re-sits) in 2014, to reveal the true extent of GCSE results,^[1] the LEA was fourth from bottom (148th) in England (out of 151)^[2]^[3] with 44.6% gaining five good GCSEs.

Colleges

Further education

Central College Nottingham was formed in 2012.
New College Nottingham (NCN) was established in 1999. It has around 3,500 students, and about 900 apprentices.

Sixth form

Bilborough Grammar School was opened in 1957 in the west of the district, becoming the much-renowned Bilborough College in 1975, when the Borough of Nottingham, in Nottinghamshire, went comprehensive.
