Welcome to the Wellington Academy  |
We are Wiltshire's first academy. We opened in September 2009 in the buildings of our predecessor school and will move onto a new £32million green field campus in 2011. Our new building is now starting to take shape, with the huge tower crane having become a prominent local landmark. When full we will have 1250 students, including post-16 and boarding places for 100. Our academy is sponsored by Wellington College - one of the UK's leading co-educational independent schools. I am delighted by the local support for the academy, which is intended to be a great source of civic pride for Tidworth, Ludgershall and surrounding villages.
