Bramcote Hills Sports and Community College was a mixed state school in Nottinghamshire. It taught children from 11 to 18 (Years 7-13). It is located in Bramcote, Nottinghamshire. It was part of the White Hills Park Federation with Executive Head Teacher, Kevin Dean, the School Leader, Mal Kerr.
Bramcote Hills Sports and Community College was formally closed by Nottinghamshire County Council on 31 August 2009. At the same time the council agreed from 1 September 2009, to enlarge Alderman White School and Language College, to incorporate the remaining site of Bramcote Hills School, following demolition of the unsafe upper school, this making Alderman White a split-site school.
The school started life as two separate schools sharing the same campus. Bramcote Hills Technical Grammar which opened in 1955 and Bramcote Hills Grammar School in 1957. The founding head teacher of BHTS was Mr Frank J Cresswell. Following the retirement of Mr Cresswell, who died only a few months after retiring, the two grammar schools which shared the same site merged in 1973 under the Head Mastership of Mr Lyons
In 1978 the two merged grammar schools became a comprehensive school, to form Bramcote Hills Comprehensive School (BHCS) under the Leadership of Mr Pitts, succeeded in 1982 by Mr Maltby, until 1996 Ms Nada Trikic.
Under the Head Teacher of Nada Trikic it gained Sports College specialist status in 2004 and was renamed "Bramcote Hills Sports and Community College" "BHSCC" and awarded a grant to improve sporting facilities, this included a regeneration of the schools changing rooms gym extensions and out door surfaces.
Nada Trikic left the school in 2006 to become a HMI Inspector of schools.
In the summer of 2007 the school celebrated "50 Glorious Years" reuniting may old pupils, staff and teachers
