The Corsham School

The Corsham School is an 11-18 comprehensive academy with just over 1100 students. We are situated in the beautiful Wiltshire market town of Corsham, within easy reach of Chippenham and Bath, and draw students from within the town and its many surrounding villages.

We aim to maximise potential as we continually strive to develop this school to be the best of the best. We will not stop our programme of continuous improvement.

Our academic reputation is a great source of pride; however our emphasis on developing the whole person is a fundamental part of the education we provide. As a school we promote individuality, independence and creativity. We emphasise social, cultural, moral and spiritual development and we pride ourselves on developing responsible, tolerant, global, 21st century citizens.
