Frederick Gent School

The Frederick Gent Comprehensive School is a co-educational secondary school located on Mansfield Road (B6019) in South Normanton in the Bolsover district of Derbyshire.

It was built in 1958 to replace the secondary schools of Kirkstead in Pinxton (which became a junior school on Kirkstead Road) and New Street Secondary Modern in South Normanton.

Frederick Gent has a good and growing reputation as an innovative, high-achieving school with a well-ordered, caring and secure environment in which all youngsters can learn with confidence.

The previous headteacher was Julie Broadbent, who replaced Martyn Cooper at the end of the 2012/13 academic year.

The school gets very good GCSE results, with a rising trend.
