Wellacre Academy is a secondary school for boys and co-educational sixth form in Flixton, Greater Manchester, England.

History

In 1966, a block was erected with an elevated assembly hall with a stage. A rebuilding programme was completed in 1980 to provide more modern facilities and since 1995 a rolling programme of the building of new classrooms and refurbishing older ones has continued.

Wellacre Academy stands in grounds which contain 11 hectares of playing fields including an all-weather cricket pitch. A full sized artificial pitch with floodlighting was completed in 2005. It possesses two modern gymnasia, each with a separate suite of showers and changing rooms. Its multi-gym has a wide range of modern equipment.

The school has seven science laboratories, dedicated computer suites, a food technology room, a design technology workshop, a drama studio, a textiles room, a large library, a purpose-built dark room and other specialist rooms for Music and Art. Three new rooms were built for the humanities department in 2004.
