About The Stonehenge School

The Stonehenge School is a mixed state secondary in Wiltshire that currently teaches 1,079 pupils, well above its official capacity of 940. This oversubscription is reflected in its admissions data for 2025/26, where the school received 319 applications for 213 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 5. Of those, 210 were first-preference applications, and 206 first-preference offers were made, indicating strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16 per cent, which is above the national average for secondary schools and suggests the school serves a relatively diverse socioeconomic intake. The school does not have a sixth form, so pupils leave at 16, and it has no religious character. Headteacher Carole Dean leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2011, with its most recent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming it remains Good.
