Etone Technology, Language, Vocational College is a comprehensive secondary school in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. It is a mixed school of non-denominational religion and belongs to the Warwickshire Local Education Authority.

History

The school was originally 'Nuneaton High School for Girls', the grammar school equivalent for girls passing the eleven plus exam. However, after the abolition of the tripartite system, the school became mixed sex and changed its name to 'Etone Community School'. In 2002, the school was granted Technology College status under the specialist schools programme. In 2006, the school established a loose federation with another local school, Hartshill School to share resources and expertise. It also gained specialist language and vocational status in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Radio 1

In early 2007, the school was paid a visit by Radio 1, as part of its Star Pupil feature. Presenter Edith Bowman broadcast live from the school and introduced pop singers Paulo Nutini and Jamelia performing live in the school's main hall.
