George Eliot Academy (formerly The George Eliot School) is a mixed secondary school located in Nuneaton in the English county of Warwickshire.[1]
The school was established in September 1961, and became a foundation school in September 2009 in partnership with North Warwickshire and Hinckley College. In September 2011 the school converted to academy status[2] and was originally part of the Midland Academies Trust.[3] MAT were taken over by United United Learning in 2023.
The school is named after George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans (1819 – 1880). Evans was novelist, journalist and translator who was born in Nuneaton, and is considered to be one of the leading writers of the Victorian era.
The school formally joined United Learning in December 2023.
