The Millside Spencer Academy is being built on former farming land on Rempstone Road in East Leake, as part of a £14 million investment in education in the village, led by Nottinghamshire County Council and its partners.
It is expected to open for the new school year in September 2023 and will eventually have a capacity for 315 primary places plus a 26-place nursery.
Farnborough Spencer Academy’s pupils and staff are proud after receiving a turnaround ‘Good’ Ofsted report across all four judgments, including Quality of Education, Leadership, Behaviour and Attitudes, and Personal Development, during a full section 5 inspection, the first since joining Spencer Academies Trust in 2018.
The academy, located in Clifton, is part of the Spencer Academies Trust. The inspection was designed to re-assess the academy’s status after the predecessor school received two inadequate Ofsted gradings in 2013 and 2017. This was the first full inspection following the conversion, and everyone involved was thrilled to see the transformation in status.
