History

The first buildings on the site were opened in 1957 for boys of St Thomas's School in central Salisbury, which at that time was a Church of England secondary modern school; after the buildings were extended in the early 1960s the rest of the boys' school moved there. [2] [3] Westwood County Girls' Secondary Modern School was opened on an adjoining site in 1958, and in 1973 the two schools merged to form Westwood St. Thomas's School, [4] which became a comprehensive school. From 1997 the school was called Salisbury High School. [5]

The school converted to academy status in 2010 and reopened as Sarum Academy. [6] Since November 2017 it has been sponsored by Magna Learning Partnership, alongside Wyvern St Edmund's and Salisbury Sixth Form College in the Salisbury area, and The Trafalgar School at Downton. [7]
