Hasmonean High School will launch a new multi-academy trust next month to oversee the formal division of its girls’ and boys’ branches into separate schools.
The demerger follows an Appeal Court ruling two years ago that boys and girls in a co-educational school must not be completely segregated.
Each school will have a governing body responsible for decisions affecting the curriculum and educational provision, while the MAT’s trust board will oversee compliance with education regulations.
Each school will also have its own admissions arrangements, Hasmonean headteacher Andrew McClusky notified parents on Tuesday.
