Kent
DA2 7DR
United Kingdom
Wilmington Academy is a highly successful school where students from diverse backgrounds thrive in a calm, respectful, and purposeful learning environment. The IB philosophy underpins a carefully crafted curriculum that meets the needs and aspirations of all learners, with the IB Career-related Programme in Key Stage 5 and the IB Middle Years Programme in Key Stage 3 providing a truly global and future-focused education. The Academy boasts exceptional facilities in a semi-rural setting near Dartford, and students benefit from extensive enrichment, strong pastoral support, and a culture that values academic excellence, hard work, and good manners.
Value-added measures place the school in the top band nationally for both Key Stage 4 and 5, and outcomes are among the best for non-selective schools in Kent. Wilmington fosters international-mindedness, teamwork, and inclusion through its small-school structure, vertical tutor groups, and moral purpose. A large number of students progress to university or high-level apprenticeships, supported by dedicated staff and a strong partnership with Leigh Academies Trust and external organisations.
