The De Warenne Academy is a secondary school with academy status on Gardens Lane in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, England.
History
The school changed its name (from Northcliffe School) in September 2009, when it became an academy and moved into a new building in 2013.[1] Previously it had been Northcliffe School, a secondary modern school.
The Academy is sponsored by the School Partnership Trust (SPT), a Yorkshire-based educational and social charity, and co-sponsored by Doncaster Council and Dearne Valley College.[1]
Christian Academy
The school was the centre of controversy in the early 2000s due to a proposal to convert it into an academy run by the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, a Christian charity. The proposal was withdrawn in 2004 after legal threats by the National Secular Society.[2][3]
