Winterton Community Academy (formerly Winterton Comprehensive School) is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Winterton, North Lincolnshire, England. [1]
Winterton Community Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.
The school began as Winterton Secondary Modern School. Grammar school for Winterton was Scunthorpe Grammar School (now St Lawrence Academy, Scunthorpe, and previously High Ridge School).
It became comprehensive with the rest of Scunthorpe in 1968. The new comprehensive was for Alkborough, Appleby, Roxby-cum-Risby, West Halton, Whitton, and Winteringham. After further enlargement it would be for 300 more children, to include Flixborough and Burton-upon-Stather. It cost £147,309 for 450 to 750 places. [2]
Phase 1 was built in 1972. [3] Mr A Ecclestone was headteacher from 1961 to 1978, who had attended St Catharine's College, Cambridge. [4]
Previously a community school administered by North Lincolnshire Council, Winterton Comprehensive School converted to academy status on 1 October 2012 and was renamed Winterton Community Academy.
