Wellington Academy Sixth Formers

On the 11th February I visited Wellington Academy in Ludgershall where I was quizzed on government policy by 6th form students before attending a Governors meeting. I was faced with very intelligent and challenging questions by an obviously very bright group of students and I enjoyed discussing and hearing their thoughts and opinions. There are some fantastic new school buildings nearing completion in the Academy and I am confident the Academy will, like Clarendon Junior School, benefit from more funding from the government for every child who receives free school meals or is from a service family. These "pupil premiums" are an excellent idea and I know they have been as welcomed by other schools as they have at Wellington.
