In November 2012, headteacher Jackie Overton was suspended, along with two other staff, for undisclosed reasons. Pupils were suspended for making 'malicious comments' regarding the incident.[5] Shortly afterwards, the school was placed in special measures under the ruling of an acting headteacher, Martin Ebbage.[6][7]
In January 2015 the school converted to academy status and was renamed Outwood Academy Newbold. The school is now part of the Outwood Grange Family of Schools.
The school has broken the record for the highest number of exclusions locally.[8]
Academics
Outwood Academy Newbold offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils,[9] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs.[10]
