The school is named after Frank Evelyn Seely (1864–1928), a former High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Councillor for Calverton on Nottinghamshire County Council. In 1957 the Colonel Frank Seely School was opened in memory of him.[2] Previously a community school administered by Nottinghamshire County Council, in October 2017 Colonel Frank Seely School converted to academy status and was renamed Colonel Frank Seely Academy. The school is now sponsored by Redhill Academy Trust.
Colonel Frank Seely Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs.[3]
