Giving generations of young people the 'very best start'

Situated in the “heart” of the Western Expansion Area (WEA) of Milton Keynes, Watling Academy is the largest secondary school to be built in the Buckinghamshire town. Funding for the £34m development was provided by Milton Keynes Council in order to meet “substantial demographic growth” arising from the continued expansion of the WEA. The new purpose-built, 1,800 capacity school consists of a large three-storey super block with separate sports facilities including playing fields, and expansive car/cycle parking. This new modern facility will provide “generations of young people with the very best start in their academic journey”.

Watling Academy, which sits on an area of 10.88 hectares, brings the “highest quality education and support” to 1,800 students. Equally, the “highest quality” design and construction processes were implemented to make it a reality.
