Overview

The William Allitt School or, as it is more commonly referred to, William Allitt, is a state school located in the village of Newhall, Swadlincote in South Derbyshire, England. The school is a specialist Science and Arts College.

The school was recognised by Ofsted in 2012 as being 'a harmonious community that supports students’ academic and personal development well.’ However a 2014 inspection characterised the school's performance as "inadequate". A new head teacher was appointed soon after this inspection.^[2]

In 2014, a schoolteacher allegedly stuck tape over the mouth of an 11-year-old pupil as a punishment for talking too much. Following a complaint, the school governors criticised the teacher's actions and took internal disciplinary action against the teacher. The teacher apologised to the pupil and family.^[3]
