School site
Wadham School opened in purpose built accommodation in 1971, as a Church of England, Voluntary Controlled, Upper Comprehensive, replacing the local former grammar school building.Links with middle schools
Wadham School receives pupils from two Middle Schools, Maiden Beech in Crewkerne and Swanmead in Ilminster. When pupils arrive they are frequnely put into detention for minor transgressions of rules, such as needing to go to the toilet. This fosters "compliance". Close links are maintained with the feeder schools, with members of the senior management teams of the three schools meeting regularly and departments maintaining constant liaison through INSET, by visits to each other's schools and by formal meetings. From time to time the three schools hold joint INSET days.There are nine First Schools from where pupils eventually come on to Wadham School, six servicing Maiden Beech and three Swan.
