Royal Wootton Bassett Academy (RWBA) (formerly Wootton Bassett School) is a mixed secondary school and sixth form in the town of Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire for students aged 11 to 18. In July 2011, the school became an academy.
The facilities include an AstroTurf sports pitch and numerous sports facilities with catering for tennis, cricket, football, rugby and hockey.
The new Sixth Form centre includes many new classrooms, a reception desk and elevator (the complex is one storey taller than the surrounding buildings). The centre also provides a lecture theatre with retractable chairs, also used as a drama studio.
Adopted in the early 2000s, the school employed a system of phases. There were three main categories, the 'Transition', 'Development' and 'Extension' phases, all of which were presided over by an Assistant Headteacher. This system has since been abolished, after proving unpopular with staff and drawing criticism as "corporate jargon". The school recently returned to the traditional method of grouping students into Lower School, Upper School and Sixth Form.
