Watling Academy

Watling Academy is a coeducational secondary school with academy status located in the Whitehouse district of western Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. The school is part of the Denbigh Alliance Multi Academy Trust, which also owns another school in Milton Keynes - Denbigh School in Shenley Church End. In 2019, following a growing demand for secondary school places in the Western Expansion Area of Milton Keynes, the Denbigh Alliance MAT and Milton Keynes Council began a £40 million project to construct the school on a 10-hectare site.[1] The school officially opened in September 2020, and was expected to be home to approximately 1,800 students in the first few years since opening. The school features science labs, DT facilities, social space, creative arts space and both indoor and outdoor sports facilities.[2]
