History


Easingwold School was founded in 1784 by a charitable bequest of Eleanor Westerman. There seems to have been a previous school or grammar school in Easingwold, mentioned in 1564.
The school moved to its current larger site in 1954 and became a mixed, comprehensive school. The previous school site now houses Easingwold Primary School. In 1994 the Europa Block was added to the school to increase the number of classrooms available, specifically for languages. Since then a new maths block, science block and separate Sixth Form block have been added to the school grounds.

In October 2016, Ofsted published an inspection report that found the overall effectiveness of Easingwold School to be Inadequate. The school was subsequently placed into special measures, with Headteacher Phil Benaiges removed from his post and replaced by Rob Pritchard as interim executive headteacher. In April 2017, it was announced the school would reopen as an academy in September 2017, sponsored by Outwood Grange Academies Trust.
On 1 April 2018 Easingwold School converted to academy status sponsored by Outwood Grange Academies Trust, and became Outwood Academy Easingwold.
