Granville Academy

Granville Academy, formerly Granville Sports College is a comprehensive school on Burton Road (A511) in Woodville, Derbyshire maintained by the Derbyshire County Council.

Granville received specialised Sports College status in January 2008.

The school is near the very busy A511 road, which has been the scene of accidents some involving pupils.

Plans by the local council, Derbyshire County Council, aiming to improve road safety were rejected by Granville Academy with a spokesperson for the trust that runs Granville Academy suggesting this was because of "...concerns around site security and the safeguarding of its students".
