Wadebridge School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the town of Wadebridge, Cornwall, England. It has 1,235 pupils. The headteacher is Tina Yardley.

In 2004, the school gained specialist business and enterprise college status, and the school converted to academy status in April 2012.

Facilities include gymnasium, tennis courts, football/rugby pitch, hockey pitch, basketball court, a squash court and heated swimming pool (part of Wadebridge Leisure Centre).

The county secondary school, built in 1958, was designed by F. K. Hicklin, county architect.[1]

2006 A-Level results

In 2006 the school came in second place behind Truro High School in the league tables for the average A-level points score per student in Cornwall. This meant that Wadebridge school beat the independent and selective Truro School into third place, a feat that was achieved again in 2008.[2][3]
