The school has academy status, and in January 2015 had 1,307 pupils.[1] BackgroundStudents attend from the market town of Corsham and nearby villages such as Colerne, Neston, Box, Lacock, Shaw, Batheaston and from more distant towns such as Chippenham and Melksham and the city of Bath. LayoutThe school is split into five blocks. It has three playgrounds and one big field.
A new building, which will house a new sixth form centre and SEND (special educational needs and disability) centre, will begin construction in February 2019, and is expected to be finished by September 2019. Academic standardsThe Corsham School was described as "exceptional" in increasing the number of pupils attaining top level GCSE grades by Bob Wolfson, Wiltshire's education director, in January 2004. More than two-thirds of Corsham's pupils achieved five or more A* to C grades at GCSE in 2003, a big improvement from just over half the students in 2002.[2]School Standards Minister, David Miliband, announced that he was keen to see the strategy spread to most schools in the country.[3] In 2009, the school received an 'outstanding' Ofsted report. In December 2012, the school achieved a rating of 'good'. In 2017 it got downgraded again to "Requires Improvement" Ofsted report. HistoryThe Corsham School opened as a comprehensive school in 1972,[4] replacing Corsham Secondary Modern School which had opened in 1955.[5] The school specialised as a Visual Arts College until the closure of the Specialist schools programme in 2011.[6] Student LeadersThe Corsham School is noted for its alternative approach to student leadership. After removing the traditional student council system in 2014, a new system was introduced whereby there are Student Leaders appointed from the sixth form.[7] There are different Student Leader departments (currently: Events, Broadcasting, Publishing, Innovation, Charity & Fundraising) in addition to an Internal and an External Director. In the academic year 2015/6, under the premierships of Oscar Wilson and Ben Hayday, there were over 200 Student Leaders aged 12 to 18. The current Directors of the Student Leaders are Martha Benedict and Elena Bateman.[8] Some of The Corsham School's Student Leaders' work has included:
