Welcome to the website of The Wellington Academy. This is a new, mixed, non denominational secondary school for East Wiltshire which will admit up to 1,150 students, including those in a new sixth form. The students will be drawn from all backgrounds, abilities and faiths.
Wellington Academy is being sponsored by Wellington College - one of the leading co-educational independent schools in the UK. The College was originally formed to provide education to the children of Army officers who died whilst serving their country.
It is proposed that the Academy will replace Castledown Foundation School in Ludgershall and will open in a new building in 2010. It will change its status to an Academy from 2009 and operate for a year from existing school buildings.
