The Head Teacher is Gary Watson (commenced Headship in January 2012). On 1 January 2012, Tewkesbury School became an academy. HistoryThe school was the product of the decision taken in 1969 to make Tewkesbury switch to comprehensive secondary education. Formerly Tewkesbury had had four secondary schools:
It was the latter whose buildings were chosen to form the nucleus of a new Tewkesbury Comprehensive School, with all of the town's secondary education being concentrated on the one site, and the former schools closing. After a major building programme, enlarging the old Elmbury School to several times its original size, the new comprehensive, known as Tewkesbury School, was opened on 5 September 1972 with about 1,200 pupils on its books, and John C. Faull as its first Head Teacher. A couple of months later, on Thursday 16 November 1972, the official opening took place, performed by Professor Dorothy Hodgkin (1910–1994), Chancellor of the University of Bristol from 1970 till 1988, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 and the Copley Medal from the Royal Society in 1976.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Present dayThe school has 1,691 students including 378 sixth form students.[1] It has gained both Sportsmark and Artsmark awards, whilst also qualifying as an Investor in People. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, in May 2010, the school attained a good result from the inspection with the summary letter to the school's students stating "The school looks after you well and you make good progress in your personal development and your learning".[1] A sled used as part of the famous Antarctic expedition to the South Pole by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team, formerly on display in the former Boys' Grammar School's dining hall, is housed in the Humanities building at Tewkesbury School due to the school's links with Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson. The sled had been donated to the Grammar School by Sir Raymond Priestley who was born in Tewkesbury and who participated in the Antarctic Expeditions of Shackleton and Scott. In July 2011 John Reilly resigned from headteacher to be replaced by Martin McLeman as interim headteacher. In July 2011 it was announced that Gary Watson, formerly Headteacher at Maidenhill School, Stroud, would take over the position from January 2012. Notable former pupils
