The Ellis Guilford School & Sports College is a secondary academy school in Bar Lane, Basford, Nottingham.

The school was established in 1926.^{[citation needed]}.

In 2001 it was inspected by Ofsted, with the finding that "Pupils’ attainment on entry is well below average overall ... Ellis Guilford School provides a sound education for its pupils within circumstances that are relatively challenging. Although standards in relation to schools nationally are below average, the majority of pupils make at least satisfactory progress".^[2] In 2006 and 2010 it was inspected again and judged Good.^[3][4] In 2013 inspection judged it Inadequate because of slow progress made by students and the lack of engaging teaching.^[5] In 2015 it was judged Good.^[6] In 2018 it was judged Inadequate: Special Measures Required on the grounds of poor teaching, poor outcomes, ineffective safeguarding, low attendance and poor strategic planning.^[7][8]

The school became an academy a month after this inspection, in November 2018.^[1] It is part of the Creative Education Trust.^[1] As of 2020 it has not been inspected since academisation.

The school was criticised in January 2018 after introducing a ban on pupils cycling to school unless they had passed safety training.^[9]
