The Stonehenge School

What The Stonehenge School does

The Stonehenge School is a state-funded community secondary school located on Holders Road in Amesbury, Wiltshire (SP4 7PW), England, maintained by Wiltshire Local Education Authority and serving approximately 1,000+ pupils aged 11–16 across eight forms of entry. The school delivers the full National Curriculum at Key Stage 3 and a mixed GCSE/vocational pathway at Key Stage 4, with assessment conducted twice yearly through its Milestone Assessment system and supported by a Re-teach Week model. Core technology consists of standard education SaaS — ClassCharts (attendance, behavior, and parent communication), a Pupil Progress app (academic tracking for parents and students), and CPOMS (online safeguarding reporting) — used for administration and engagement rather than as a productized offering. Student demographics are distinctive: 14.4% are registered for Free School Meals (Ever 6 FSM) and 41–46% are from service/military families, which the school supports through dedicated pastoral programs including Forces Ambassadors and Little Troopers sessions.

The school's revenue model is government funding via Wiltshire Council on a per-pupil formula basis, supplemented by a 2025/26 Disadvantaged Pupil Premium allocation of £171,588 and Service Pupil Premium of £156,467 covering 459 service students. A secondary income stream is generated by commercial lettings of school facilities to community organisations and businesses during and outside school hours. Education is free to UK-resident pupils aged 11–16; families may incur optional costs for trips, certain after-school clubs, and uniform. Admissions are administered centrally by Wiltshire Council, and the school actively recruits through guided tours, feeder-primary relationships (the Stonehenge Cluster of seven primaries), and digital channels (website, weekly newsletter, Instagram, Facebook, and X). Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer to parents within its catchment, with no commercial sales motion.

The institution is led by Headteacher Carole Dean (appointed 2021, after ten years on staff), supported by two Deputy Headteachers, five Assistant Headteachers, a School Business Manager, a SENCO and Deputy SENCO, and heads of department across English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Modern Foreign Languages, Arts, Technology, PE, Music, and Drama. Strategic positioning is anchored by a sixth consecutive 'Good' Ofsted rating (September 2022, spanning nearly 20 years), a SEND-focused Skills Development Centre in the Phase 2 upper building, and an active partnership ecosystem (Anna Freud for mental health, NSPCC for safeguarding, Duke of Edinburgh's Award, University of Southampton, and the Swindon and Wiltshire Careers Hub for Gatsby Benchmark-aligned careers education). The school holds a Green Tree School Award, Dyslexia-Friendly School Award, and Affordable Schools Bronze Award.
