Welcome to the website of The Kings of Wessex Academy

Outstanding Ofsted As one of the leading schools in the South West, The Kings of Wessex Academy strives to provide a first class education for all. We have high expectations of our students and work hard to provide the opportunities and support needed to enable them to reach their full potential.

In 2012, 91% of students in Year 11 achieved five or more A*-C grades, which compares very favourably with the national average of 69%. 65% of students achieved five or more A*-C grades including English and Maths. 2012 also saw the A-level pass rate rise again to an impressive 99%, and a quarter of all the A-level grades awarded were the top grades of A and A*.

The school's specialism is technology, which means that we are able to provide our students with state-of-the-art IT facilities and enhanced opportunities in Science, Mathematics and Design Technology.

Please take time to read the welcome message from the Headteacher, Mr Chris Richardson.

Ofsted and SIAS praise

The Kings of Wessex Academy was judged to be outstanding by the February 2010 Ofsted Inspection team. To quote the Ofsted report, "One student summed up The Kings of Wessex as ‘amazing’ and inspection findings endorse this view. It is an exceptional school with excellent performance."
