Maltby Community School (MCS) is a comprehensive school in the mining town of Maltby in South Yorkshire.

The (comprehensive) school has a sixth form. The school is below capacity in its numbers. It is situated on Braithwell Road (B6376) close to the junction with the A631. It will become an academy in January 2010. This will involve building a £30m new school by September 2013 called the Maltby Learning Campus.
The co-educational Maltby Grammar School (MGS) was established in 1931, being built on the site of Rolleston Hall on Rotherham Road (A631). It was officially opened on (Saturday) 16 April 1932 by Sir Percy Jackson, the Chairman of the West Riding Education Committee. The Maltby Hall Secondary Modern School was on Braithwell Road.
Buildings were added in the 1960s to prepare the school to become a comprehensive. It became Maltby Comprehensive School, being officially opened on 7 October 1967 by Alan Bullock, the Master of St Catherine's College, Oxford and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. However, it was an incremental change (and possibly less disruptive) to becoming a comprehensive, with the school becoming fully comprehensive by 1974 once all former grammar school intakes had left.
The first (and only) Headmaster of Maltby Grammar School was Gerald Rush - who retired when it became Maltby Comprehensive School
Similar to most schools in Rotherham LEA (and most former coalfield areas), it gets GCSEs under the England average. Maltby's results are comparable to many schools nearby (such as Dinnington). A level results are under the England average but average for Rotherham.
