rdf:langString The Giles Academy (formerly the Giles School) is a mixed secondary school located in Old Leake in the English county of Lincolnshire. Previously a foundation school administered by Lincolnshire County Council, the Giles School opened its doors to students on July 16, 1962. The new school boasts modern facilities and equipment after a £125,000 investment. On 1st September, 2010, the Giles School converted to academy status and was renamed the Giles Academy. However the school continues to coordinate with Lincolnshire County Council for admissions. The Giles Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. The school previously offered sixth form education for students to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs. In 2005, the school was awarded a specialism in visual arts. As a result, all key stage 4 students are required to undertake at least one art and design related subject for their GCSE studies. In November 2015, the school finished constructing a new swimming pool and held an opening ceremony with former student and former Olympic swimmer Melanie Marshall. In 2016, after 24 years of leadership, Executive Headmaster Chris Walls (the 3rd headteacher in over 50 years of the school's history) retired. Previous Deputy Headmaster Ian Widdows was named as his replacement. Since the departure of Widdows several years later, Lucy Conley has served as the school's headteacher, with Katie Belcher taking on the role of Head of School.
