History
[edit | edit source] |
Wootton Upper School started in 1975. As the school buildings were not quite ready, it shared a site with Stewartby Middle School. The first intake was 213 students and they moved onto the Wootton site in November, with 16 teaching staff.
The first headmaster was Stanley Clews. The school was complete by 1978. Clews retired in 1987. Catherine Mackenzie took over until 1999, when Anthony Withell became head. In 2014 Michael Gleeson became principal of the school.
The school was awarded Beacon Status in 2001.
Kimberley College
[edit | edit source]Kimberley College is a new Sixth form college that opened in Stewartby in April 2014. The college is operated by Wootton Academy Trust, and the two centres share facilities for their sixth form students.[2]
