History

Nelson Haden Senior Boys' Secondary Modern School [3] and Nelson Haden County Girls' Secondary Modern [4] opened on the site that is now the Clarendon Academy on 16 September 1940. In August 1974 both sets of school buildings became Clarendon School, when Wiltshire County Council implemented the comprehensive education system in Trowbridge. [5]

In 2005 the school became the Clarendon College, a specialist Language College. It converted to academy status on 1 December 2012 and was renamed the Clarendon Academy, with the sponsorship of the Education Fellowship. [6] However, the school continues to coordinate with Wiltshire Council for its admissions. In September 2018, the school changed allegiance to the Acorn Educational Trust, which manages Kingdown secondary school in the Wiltshire town of Warminster and several primary schools in the area. [1]

At an Ofsted inspection in November 2017 the school was graded as "Good" overall, achieving this grade in all categories except 16 to 19 study programmes which were assessed as "Requires improvement". [7]

Academics

The Clarendon Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.
