The Corsham School is a large secondary school, with a sixth form, in Corsham, Wiltshire, England. The school has academy status, and in January 2015 had 1,307 pupils.
Students attend from the market town of Corsham and nearby villages such as Colerne, Neston, Box, Lacock, Shaw, Batheaston and from more distant towns such as Chippenham and Melksham and the city of Bath.
The school is split into five blocks. It has three playgrounds and one big field.
The Corsham School was described as "exceptional" in increasing the number of pupils attaining top level GCSE grades by Bob Wolfson, Wiltshire's education director, in January 2004. More than two-thirds of Corsham's pupils achieved five or more A* to C grades at GCSE in 2003, a big improvement from just over half the students in 2002.School Standards Minister, David Miliband, announced that he was keen to see the strategy spread to most schools in the country.
In 2009, the school received an 'outstanding' Ofsted report. In December 2012, the school achieved a rating of 'good'.
The Corsham School opened as a comprehensive school in 1972, replacing Corsham Secondary Modern School which had opened in 1955.
The school specialised as a Visual Arts College until the closure of the Specialist schools programme in 2011.
