History
Secondary modern school
George Farmer County Secondary Modern School opened on Tuesday 22 April 1958.[1] Work had started in 1956. The name was chosen on Tuesday 18 February 1958.[2] The school was built by William Wright & Sons, of Park Street in Lincoln, for Holland Education Committee. There were four houses - Balmoral, Buckingham, Windsor and Sandringham.[3] The school was officially opened on Wednesday 22 April 1959 by Sir Herbert Shiner of the County Councils' Association.[4]
Academy
The school was established in 2011 following the closure of The St Guthlac's School in Crowland and George Farmer Technology and Language College in Holbeach (formerly named George Farmer Secondary School). It was created as an academy with the sponsorship of the University of Lincoln which already runs its National Centre for Food Manufacturing directly next to the campus site of the former George Farmer Technology and Language College in Holbeach.[citation needed] The new school building was completed on the old George Farmer site on 4 November 2013.[5]
In 2014 UAH became part of the Lincolnshire Educational Trust MAT along with Holbeach Primary Academy (2015) and Gosberton House Academy (2016). The Chair of the LET was Professor J Scott Davidson of the University of Lincoln and the CEO was Andrew Breckon. In 2019 The Peele Community College in Long Sutton became University Academy Long Sutton which is linked with UAH.
