About Us

On 26 August 2003 Djanogly City Academy Nottingham officially opened as one of the first of a new type of specialist, state-funded independent school. The City Academy replaced the oversubscribed Djanogly City Technology College (CTC) and the former Forest Comprehensive School which was closed by the Local Education Authority in July 2002.

This exciting development will increase the number of Djanogly students from 1000 in 2002, to over 1800 by 2008, and saw the opening in 2005, on the site of the former Forest School, of a new centre, designed by world-renowned architects Lord Foster & Partners , for the Academy's 11-14 year olds.  The original CTC building on Sherwood Rise, which opened in 1989, has also undergone major redevelopment as the Academy's 14-19 centre. 

 

The City Academy’s specialism is Information and Communication Technology (ICT) which will be used extensively to improve teaching and learning, and will give greater chances for success to even more young people living in inner city Nottingham.
