Thomas Clarkson Academy

Thomas Clarkson Academy is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England.

It was renamed Thomas Clarkson Community College in 2007 under the Fresh Start programme following an Ofsted report that judged it to be a 'failing school'.

[3] It is named after Thomas Clarkson, the Wisbech-born abolitionist and leading campaigner against the slave trade in the British Empire.

The completed £32m Thomas Clarkson Academy building in Wisbech – based on a plan of blocks a Fibonacci sequence, is built largely in cross-laminated timber or CLT, with facades of banded brick.

[5] The building is built on a grand scale, and set on a large school site, with many specifically designated outside areas for sport, and all weather pitches.

Otherwise, as the aim of the curriculum is to develop successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens, there is a strong focus on the core subjects; English, Maths and Science.

Students are encouraged, to maximise their academic potential by studying the EBacc (English Baccalaureate) suite of subjects.
