Hertswood Academy (formerly Hertswood School) is a coeducational secondary school in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire which gained academy status in January 2013.[1] The headteacher is Peter Gillett, who joined Hertswood Academy in January 2013.[2]
It was established in September 2000 by an amalgamation of five former local schools,[3] which was reflected by the two different sites of the academy previously . The academy has since moved to a single site as part of a project to build new "World Class Facilities". school that started work in 2015, which was funded by selling one of the sites for housing.[4] After two years of construction, the new academy buildings opened in September 2019.[5]
An Ofsted inspection in 2017 stated Hertswood Academy was "inadequate" due to issues with "personal development, behaviour and welfare".[6] A monitoring visit in May 2018 stated that "leaders and managers are taking effective actions".[7] Ofsted conducted a further inspection in September 2019, with the report yet to be published.[8]
