Тьюксбери Академиясы: Тарихы мен қазіргі жағдайы

School in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England

Tewkesbury Academy (previously Tewkesbury School) is a secondary school in the English town of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire. It has been an academy since 2012; in July 2023 its name was changed to reflect this. Since 2022 the head teacher has been Kathleen McGillycuddy.

The most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2021 saw the school retain a "Good" rating, stating that "Leaders have raised expectations of academic standards in the school. Pupils are resilient and do not give up. Pupils attend school regularly". The school previously gained both Sportsmark and Artsmark awards, whilst also qualifying as an Investor in People. The school canteen has seen many different changes over the years, with catering currently provided by Aramark. A sled used as part of the famous Antarctic expedition to the South Pole by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team, formerly on display in the former Boys' Grammar School's dining hall, is housed in the Humanities building at Tewkesbury Academy due to the school's links with Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson. The sled had been donated to the Grammar School by Sir Raymond Priestley who was born in Tewkesbury and who participated in the Antarctic Expeditions of Shackleton and Scott. In July 2011, John Reilly resigned from headteacher to be replaced by Martin McLeman as interim headteacher. In July 2011, it was announced that Gary Watson, formerly headteacher at Maidenhill School, Stroud, would take over the position from January 2012. Gary Watson retired as headteacher in August 2022. Kathleen McGillycuddy, formerly principal of Broadoak Academy, Weston super Mare, became the headteacher on 1 September 2022. As of 2023, the senior team consists of headteacher Kathleen McGillycuddy, deputy head Clare de Glanville, and assistant heads Angela Parker and Vivienne Whiting. On 10 July 2023, police were called to the school following reports that a pupil had attacked a teacher. A teenage boy was arrested and the teacher was admitted to hospital with "suspected stab wounds."
