The Dukeries Academy (formerly The Dukeries Comprehensive School and then The Dukeries College and Complex) is a secondary school, community college and leisure centre situated in Ollerton, Nottinghamshire. It offers education for students aged 11–19 and is a specialist technology college. Adult education and Whitewater also offer a range of level 2 and 3 courses, including GCSEs and BTECs. Opened in September 1964 as, with Kirkby in Ashfiled Comprehensive School, the first Nottinghamshire County Comprehensives - Fairham Comptrehensive School in Nottingham had preceded them, then the School immediately proved to be a high quality "Community Provision" at a time when the village and neighbouring Edwinstowe and Bilsthorpe - who provided young people as pupils at the school - were thriving mining communities. The School/College/Academy therefore celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2014. The Dukeries has been visited by Ed Balls,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chad.co.uk/sherwood/Government-minister-opens-16m-Dukeries.4118248.jp )〕 Sebastian Coe〔()〕 and Gordon Brown. Balls described it as "a school of the 21st century". The school received a "satisfactory" grade after an OFSTED inspection. The school became an academy on 1 January 2013, and was renamed The Dukeries Academy. The Dukeries offers a farm unit, a swimming pool, a gym, a theatre, horse riding, old peoples centre, a nursery, on-site counselling, a construction block, an astro-turf pitch, a youth club and a fire service training centre. In 2009, The Dukeries was included in controversial plans to cut funding. Nottinghamshire County Council proposed to cut £380,000 of the schools budget to save money. There is a current campaign underway to stop these cuts from happening. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dukeries Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
