Wolstanton High School, previously known as Wolstanton Grammar School, is a high school in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.[1]
History
The school was founded in 1928, as Wolstanton County Grammar School, as a replacement for The Orme Middle School, which closed in 1927. The grammar school was originally designed for 500 male students from a catchment area that included Staffordshire and the neighbouring parts of Cheshire.[2] The school became Wolstanton High School in the 1970s.[3]
In a 2012, Ofsted judged the school as 'satisfactory', but that fell to 'requires improvement' by 2013.[4] It was noted that the majority of students are of 'White British backgrounds, with a small number from other ethnic groups'. The number of students 'eligible for free school meals is just below the national average'.[5]
In September 2015 Wolstanton High School converted to academy status, and is sponsored by the Shaw Education Trust.
