Steeped in History, Wrenn school has been providing high quality education to the young people and families of Wellingborough for over 100 Years.
Our Upper School’s origins at London Road lie in Wellingborough County High School for Girls which was established in 1907. Our Lower School site at Doddington Road which was established in 1930, was once the Wellingborough Grammar School for boys. In 1975, under the then headmaster, Mr Harry Wrenn, the two schools merged to form Wrenn School and in 2025 we look forward to celebrating 50 years as Wrenn School.
Wrenn School is a split site school, the lower and upper school site, KS3 (Aged 11-14) are entirely based on our Doddington Road site with KS4 & 5 (14-19) predominantly based at London Road. The Educational environment is full of historical character and the school has retained many of its original features. The school has beautiful grounds, excellent Art, Music, Drama and Design Technology purpose-built facilities. The Wrenn Astro, playing fields, hard play areas and Gyms providing excellent facilities for the multitude of sports which are played across the school.
