Shirebrook Academy


Shirebrook Academy is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Shirebrook in the English county of Derbyshire.
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, 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, a sixth form provision that has operated across all the school sites since September 2014.
Shirebrook Academy relocated into a new building in April 2013. The building is shared with Stubbin Wood School, a special school for children ages 2 to 19 who have learning disabilities.
