Visiting the Wellington Academy

I visited the Wellington Academy this week together with the Councillor for Tidworth, Mark Connolly (who is also a Governor and parent at the school) to see the complete transformation that is happening in Ludgershall.  This is the first Academy in Wiltshire and not only will the incredible new buildings open next year, but the new Head, Andy Schofield and his team are already transforming the ethos and work of the school community.   I was particularly interested to see how the thinking behind the new build reflects its close links with the surrounding military community - up to 40% of the pupils are from military families which makes new ideas like the Combined Cadet Force centre and boarding facilities even more relevant.  This is a very significant development and a great step forward for the area.
