History edit

Following the restructuring of schools in Worcestershire in 1983, the Nunnery Wood Secondary School was renamed Nunnery Wood High School. The school gained Science College status in 2004.

Previously a community school administered by Worcestershire County Council, in August 2011 Nunnery Wood High School converted to academy status.

School performance edit

73% of students achieved five or more A* to C GCSE qualifications in the summer of 2008.[1] Students in Year 11 had the highest pass rate of all time for the school in the English Language GCSE in 2014, with over 82% of the school year achieving qualifications of A* to C in their GCSEs.[2][failed verification]
