Woodway Park School and Community College was a comprehensive school in Coventry, England.[1][2] It had an expanding sixth form.[3]
The school was first opened in September 1968,[citation needed] comprising four Houses: Barcheston, Coleshill, Marton and Stoneleigh. The first Head was Mr Mullaney.[citation needed] It served the local Potters Green community although quite a few pupils did commute by bus from many other parts of Coventry at that time. Boys school uniform was compulsory - grey blazer and an unusual very bright green tie.[citation needed]
It was converted into an Academy called Grace Academy on 31 August 2008 using the same buildings, prior to housing the new academy in new buildings on 31 August 2009.[4][5]
The move to the new buildings occurred on 24 February 2010.[citation needed]
