Our Lady and St. Chad Catholic Academy (A Specialist Sports College) is a Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the Fallings Park area of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England.
The Building Schools for the Future program invested £7 million into improving the school, which was completed in September 2013.[citation needed] The school was funded another £4.7 million in 2018 to build 14 new classrooms and science laboratories.[citation needed]
Originally, the school was titled "Our Lady and St. Chad Catholic Sports College"; however, it gained academy status in 2015, partnering with three schools in Wolverhampton.[2][3]
OLSC was led by Ms. Keelan for 30 years. In 2014 she was succeeded by Miss Ellis.[citation needed]
The name of the school comes from the influence of St. Chad. The secondary building, the Marist Centre, was named after the Marist Brothers. The school was established in 1978 following the merger of St Chad's College, the Roman Catholic grammar school for boys established by the Marist Brothers, which was based at the Old Fallings Lane site, and Our Lady of Mercy girls' grammar school, situated near Snow Hill, Wolverhampton, and started by the Sisters of Mercy.
