Move?
I suggest this article is renamed to The Nottingham Academy as that is what it is now called, after the merge with two other schools, the school has become the alrgest school in europe and now operates under the name of "The nottingham academy" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.96.65.151 (talk) 19:01, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Merge with Barry Day
I have suggested this article be merged with Barry Day. Since there isn't enough information known about the man to warrant his own article. Given that this is the school he runs, his bio would be more at home here. --Mrmccollough (talk) 12:31, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No. The place for his bio is Greenwood Academies Trust.--ClemRutter (talk) 20:12, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Jesse Boot, 1st Baron Trent
Thanks for the Jesse Boot material- keep it coming. I am moulding it into Wikipedia Schools format- I am sure you will approve.--ClemRutter (talk) 20:16, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Jesse Boot School
I shall keep adding information as i get more, im currently looking into the other schools, Greenwood Dale and Elliot Durham.
 * Short answer -yes. We do WP:BRD- Be bold, if its 'too bold' ANOther reverts it, and you thank him and discuss the way forward. It works. The long answer is if you have got a lot of material- make a new page in your user area User:Naathaniel/Schools sandboxand work them all up there, and transfer the material when it seems appropriate. Real life calls- more tomorrow.--ClemRutter (talk) 23:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Material that was rejected
I will need some time to look at this--- speak soon 19:35, 2 January 2018 (UTC)ClemRutter (talk) "I received a call to say that the school was on fire. 10 out of 11 classrooms were destroyed Arson suspected. The school was closed for seven working days".

in 1992 the school was reopened with 5 mobile classrooms 2 clases in the hall, and one in a smoke damaged room. After workmen worked throughout the weekend, all classes were able to go to their mobile classrooms.

In 1993 the new Jesse Boot building was opened after the fire in 1992. Jesse Boot Junior School closed in 1996.

"Every single classroom from room one to ten was destroyed and gutted. The only thing that was standing was the brick walls. The firemen were trying to save what they could, desks and things i said i don't want that, i want the records of achievements, which were in room 6. Records of achievements were new and if we got them we would have some work from every child". - Mr Clarke, headmaster from 1990-2003.

Formal Opening of Jesse Boot's Performing Arts Centre
In 2003 the formal opening of the Performing Arts Centre, now known as the P.A.C. The P.A.C was open to students from 7.3.03 - 2011. The P.A.C reopened in August 2011 after refurbishment and still remains on site as the oldest building from the original school. Miss Valentine also became Head Teacher after Mr Clarke who had been Head for 12 Years.

Educating the children of Nottingham for 70 years!
In July 2005 the school decided to hold a picnic and summer fair to celebrate 70 Years. The whole school, parents, ex-pupils and invited guests gathered together on the field at 2pm. There was entertainment, Year four children treated the people to a display of country dancing. Year five took people right back to the 70s with a dance routine to T Rex's "i love to boogie". This was followed by a fancy dress parade and picnic. We sang Happy Birthday to Jesse Boot School while 70 children held paper candles.

Robert Heath former pupil from 1935 and Hasfsa Shekeel, the youngest pupil at the school in 2005 cut the giant birthday cake! A piece was given to all of the 540 students on roll as well as the staff. Robert Heath sadly passes away shortly before the Jesse Boot History Booklet was publish in 2005. To end the picnic 70 balloons were released into the Bakersfield skies. After school the summer fair began with lots of stalls, games and refreshments for all.

End of an Era!
In 2008 Sir Barry Day, headteacher at Greenwood Dale School was given the opportunity to form an academy school. He would later form the Greenwood Academy Trust merging Greenwood Dale, Elliot Durham and Jesse Boot School.

The plan went full force in 2009 as Jesse Boot, Greenwood Dale and Elliot Durham all saw closure, opening as The Nottingham Academy. During the year of 2009 Nottingham Academy's Greenwood Road Campus saw redevelopment with a brand new 'state of the art' building being completed in summer of 2011.

Before moving into the new school building former Jesse Boot teachers wrote 'goodbye' messages across the walls of the 74 year old building. One added 'feeling naughty' after her goodbye message.

The Jesse Boot School Model
In 2012 a model of the original Jesse Boot Building was created by the Shaw Family, the model was a complete replica it had everything all but one tree. It was presented to all the former students and teachers of the Jesse Boot School in an Nottingham Academy Assembly with a huge reveal.

The model was placed in Nottingham Academy's year 6 shared area allowing everyone to have a look at the model in its full glory.

'''The model took 18 months and 240 hours of work to complete. It measured approximately 5ft by 3ft'''

In 2016 Nottingham Academy's primary building for Year 4-6 was completed allowing students to have more room at Greenwood Road, the former Jesse Boot school site. Because of this the model was also moved along side other items and work.

In 2017, 3 students from The Jesse Boot and Nottingham Academy History Project was looking for the model but was told it was unfortunately missing.

The Jesse Boot History Project (2017)
In June 2017, three students from the Jesse Boot School who were also attending Nottingham Academy (Kieran Henson, Danny Donnelly and Nathaniel McLaughlin) started The Jesse Boot History Project. The project gave everyone from students, teachers to visitors and parents an insight to the school history and what life as a student was like. The project still continues.

To present information regarding the history the 3 students with help from teachers and the primary site teaching staff created a graphical display board at the Greenwood Road Site, the former Jesse Boot School.

The Jesse Boot Booklet (2005)
A booklet with all the schools history, events and teachers along with images was released in 2005. The booklet helped with the Jesse Boot and Nottingham Academy History Project as it provided alot of information and images.
