About The Stonehenge School
The Stonehenge School is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational secondary school situated in Amesbury, Wiltshire. It is an above average-sized state school, having almost reached its full capacity of 1,120 places for pupils aged 11–16. In 2019, our new £6.5 million extension was opened providing 24 additional state-of-the -art classrooms, and in 2023 further improvements have been made through the £6 million block that was opened to replace existing accommodation.
The school serves the expanding town of Amesbury, the location of the Boscombe Down airbase and the Solstice Park Enterprise Zone, the two largest employers in the area. The catchment area also includes several of the surrounding villages and around a quarter of the intake lives outside of our catchment. Many of these are children from services families located on Salisbury Plain.
