Selston High School
Description
Selston High School is a comprehensive school that educates students aged 11–16. It is located in Selston, Nottinghamshire, England. The head teacher is Mr Kevin Gaiderman. It is now named Selston High School after the previous name SACC (Selston Arts and Community College). The school opened with a new brand, uniform and a name in September 2012.HistoryThe school was previously called Matthew Holland School, named after the chairman of the local education committee at the time of its construction, who lived locally. The name change was the subject of much debate as it had been known as Matthew Holland for more than half a century. The building was constructed in the late 1930s, and during the war was on standby for use as an hospital until being established as an educational institution in late 1945 or early 1946. After a long campaign, the school obtained Specialist Arts College status in 2006 becoming Selston Arts and Community College, and subsequently received specialist funding. This funding has not only supported the arts departments within the college, but has been a catalyst for many improvements benefiting the whole student community. In September 2012 the school opened with a new brand, uniform and a name that signalled the start of a new year set to be full of changes under the leadership of the new headteacher, Mr Kevin Gaiderman. The school was renamed to Selston High School.DemographicsThe College is a mixed school with around 700 pupils which prides itself on its inclusivity. The Primary schools which feed Selston High are Holly Hill Primary School, Jacksdale Primary School, Bagthorpe Primary School, Underwood CofE Primary School, and Brinsley Primary School. Over 90% of students directly transfer from these schools to the school.
