History
editThe school was established as Hillsview Academy on 1 September 2014, through the merger of Eston Park and Gillbrook academies on the Gillbrook site.[3][4] Although Gillbrook supported the merger, Eston Park opposed it with the proposal prompting parental protests.[3] Both the predecessor schools had been rated as inadequate by Ofsted. Eston Park was placed in special measures on the 22 May 2013[5][6] and Gillbrook in serious weaknesses in December 2013.[7] The two schools adopted a joint Governing Board who arranged the merger.[8]
Both predecessor schools and the merged Hillsview Academy were operated by Academies Enterprise Trust (AET).
A 2017 Ofsted report found Hillsview Academy to be "inadequate", noting instances of racism, bullying, truancy and smoking.[9] Hillsview Academy was placed into special measures and in May 2019 AET announced that the school would be transferred to a new sponsor organisation, Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT).[10]
In September 2019 the school was renamed Outwood Academy Normanby and control transferred to OGAT.[11][1]
The Former sixth form building is due to become "Outwood Alternative Provision Eston" in September 2020.
Uniform
editThe school's uniform comprises a black school jacket (blazer), white shirt/blouse, black trousers/skirt and tie.[12]
