Background
History
The school was originally known as Welland Park High School, and later Welland Park Community College. Previously a community school administered by Leicestershire County Council, in August 2011 Welland Park Community College converted to academy status and was renamed Welland Park Academy. It was formerly a middle school educating pupils aged 11 to 14 but extended its age range to 16 in 2016 becoming a secondary school. The academy has maintained its autonomy and ability to respond to the needs of its own students by remaining a stand-alone academy, having decided not to join a larger Multi Academy Trust at the time of writing.
