About the academy 

Greig City Academy is a co-educational comprehensive school for students aged 11 to 19.  It is a city academy with independent status.  The Greig Trust and the Church of England sponsor the Academy.

The Academy was established in 2002 and is going from strength to strength.  Students benefit from exceptionally well-resourced classrooms, library and study areas as well as specialist facilities such as a new theatre.  We are continuing to develop ever stronger links with local primary schools and the wider community through a range of after-school activities for GCA and primary school children, summer schools, sports, arts and adult education.  

In March 2009, the Academy was inspected for Ofsted by a team of Her Majesty’s Inspectors who judged the school to be 'good with outstanding features in the Sixth Form'.  In September 2009, Ofsted carried out a subject specific inspection on business education and rated the faculty as 'outstanding'. 

GCA’s Principal is Mr Paul Sutton OBE, BSc (Hons), MA.
GCA’s Chair of the Governing Body is Mrs Sheila Taylor MA (Hons)
