 Wilmington
Academy initially split students into two colleges, Apollo and Minerva, to create a “small
school” for supporting students academically and behaviourally.Growth in the school
population led to the creation of a third college, Jupiter, in 2016.Students “value the
benefits this system provides, stating that it is operated well to support the behaviour and
academic performance of the pupils more effectively.”

In 2017, Wilmington Academy became an IB World School,
offering the IB Careers Programme to Post-16 students.
