In April 2023, a 15-year-old girl and two 15-year-old boys, who were students at Hartshill Academy, killed 36-year-old John Hackett in the neighbouring Snowhill Recreation Ground, during a violent group assault that was filmed and circulated on social media. The incident received nationwide press coverage at the time. In January 2024, each of the youths pled guilty to manslaughter, which was accepted by the prosecution. They will be sentenced in March 2024. [4]
The school formally joined United Learning in December 2023.
