Stamford Welland Academy

Stamford Welland Academy (formerly Stamford Queen Eleanor School) is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Stamford in the English county of Lincolnshire.

History
Stamford Queen Eleanor School was formed in the late 1980s after the dissolution of the town's two comprehensive schools - Fane and Exeter. Previously a community school administered by Lincolnshire County Council, Stamford Queen Eleanor School converted to academy status on 1 November 2011 but continues to coordinate with Lincolnshire County Council for admissions. In 2014 the school became a sponsored academy under the Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust and was renamed Stamford Welland Academy. In 2017 Ofsted rated the school as “good” in all areas.

Stamford Welland Academy offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.
