Springwell Community College (formerly Springwell Community School) is a secondary school in Chesterfield, England which is nicknamed by Jordan Williams as Springy. It is a mixed comprehensive of 947 students aged between 11 and 16 years. Around 180 pupils from Inkersall, Staveley, Brimington, Hollingwood, Barrow Hill, and other primary schools in the Staveley-Brimington area enrol at the school every year.^[1] It was formed in 1991 by the amalgamation of two secondary schools, Westwood (which was located in nearby Hollingwood) and Middlecroft following a reorganisation of education in Chesterfield.

Building and Structure

The school is currently housed in a 1960’s building set in its own playing fields, with specialist accommodation to meet the current curriculum provision. Two new buildings, a performing arts and sports block, are the start of the new school which is planned to be completed by 2010 as part of the "Building Schools for the Future Programme" by Derbyshire County Council.^[2]

However, as of November 2010, Springwell Community School became Springwell Community College and moved to a newer building next door. This building is more modern and larger for the large quantity of students currently attending the school.

Arts College Status

Springwell achieved Specialist Status as an Arts College in September 2005.

Aspire Sixth Form

Springwell Community College, The Bolsover School, Heritage High School and Shirebrook Academy are coming together to create a sixth form for students who are already at these schools. The sixth form will start in September 2014.^[3]
