Wrotham School is a semi-rural coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, near Sevenoaks, Kent, England. In February 2012 the school was placed in the top 3% nationally. The school converted to academy status in April 2013. The school has ~1060 pupils attending.
Rebuild programme
Wrotham School is being rebuilt as part of the Department for Education's school rebuilding programme. Councillors have approved the multi-million pound plans to rebuild the school and it will be adapted to provide 265 more places. The main block was constructed in the 1940s and currently stands in poor internal and structural condition; the building is no longer fit for purpose. This will be demolished along with other old buildings, making room for reconstruction and reconfiguration of the site layout. Some of the newer buildings will be left as they are and will be incorporated into the new site plans. To minimise disruption, the project is happening in phases. It is set to be finished by September 2027.
