A £10.9 million In 2014, the Capital Build Programme completed, with new buildings put in place, some demolished and also refurbishments to other buildings.

History

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.

Comprehensive

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. This was an incremental change 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.

Academy

The school gained academy status in 2010, and changed its name to Maltby Academy. The Executive Principal is David Sutton; the Associate Principal is Rachel Nash.
