the kings of wessex academy
Cheddar
The Kings of Wessex Academy is in the Cheddar Valley on the southern side of the
Mendip Hills and has its origins in the 18th Century when Hannah Moore
established a church school in Cheddar. The school moved to its present location
in the early 1960s and in 1976 it became an Upper School, taking in students
within the age range of 13 - 18 years. There are currently 1000 students on our
roll, including a popular Sixth Form and we are proud of our traditional values,
commitment to academic success and the excellent reputation we enjoy within the
community.
