Royal Wootton Bassett Academy

Royal Wootton Bassett Academy is delighted to be able to offer new state-of-the-art facilities (provided in 2002) as part of a private finance initiative. Staff and students work in superb modern accommodation. We aim to make the most of these to provide the standard of education all young people deserve. Technology now plays an increasingly important part in our lives and we aim to take advantage of the latest developments. The Academy is fully networked for ICT and has televisions and videos in most classrooms. We are committed to continue to invest in new technologies to raise standards of achievement and harness the global store of information that stimulates and inspires learning. Within the curriculum ICT is taught as a core subject and its use to improve the home Academy learning environment is being actively developed. The pace of change in the world in which we live continues to increase. It is a salient thought that a child starting Academy at the age of five this year will most likely leave Academy to work in a company not yet founded and on technology still to be invented. At Wootton Bassett we believe it is important to take advantage of new developments, which facilitate learning and thus raising standards of achievement. This will enable us to properly equip our students with the skills and qualities required to be successful citizens in our global society.
