The Wellington Academy, founded in 2009, is an 11–19 non-selective state-funded co-educational day and boarding school near Ludgershall, Wiltshire, England.

[8][9] The first Headteacher was Andy Schofield who oversaw its set-up, doubled its size to over 1,000 pupils and established its sixth form.

The campus houses a community sports and fitness centre with bowling green, a hair salon, a cadet centre with indoor shooting range, twin boarding houses for 100 pupils and Castledown FM's radio studios.

[citation needed] The academy was visited by Ofsted in December 2010 and was deemed to have made outstanding progress since opening.

[17] Other independent schools were initially slow to follow suit, despite a campaign led by Wellington College's former Master Anthony Seldon.
