Wath Comprehensive A Language College

Wath Comprehensive, a Language College is the first secondary school to be completed under the Rotherham School PFI Project and was handed over in April 2005.

The new school has been built adjacent to the old Wath Comprehensive and is situated at the junction of the main Rotherham Road (Sandygate) and Festival Road, on the periphery of Wath town centre. Wath itself is close to the metropolitan boundary with Barnsley.

The new build school is to the southern end of the existing site. Due to its large size the main hall has been retained, refurbished and incorporated into the new build. The two existing sports halls have also been retained and refurbished with new changing facilities common to both.

The Young Persons Centre is incorporated into the new build and the existing building demolished.

With its population of over 1750 students and 200 staff, programming the move began at the end of last year to enable small parts of the school to be available for teaching in January.

The big move began three days prior to the Easter Holidays.  The entire school was packed up and moved from the old sites and buildings, transferred and then unpacked over the Easter break period.
