The Wavell School is a coeducational community secondary school, located in Farnborough in the English county of Hampshire.[1]
The school serves the civilian and military communities of North Camp, Farnborough and Aldershot, and is administered by Hampshire County Council which coordinates the schools admissions.[2] It is named after Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell, a senior commander in the British Army who went on to become Viceroy and Governor-General of India.[3]
The Wavell school was opened on 23 October 1970 led by Lady Pamela Humphrys, daughter of Archibald Wavell. At the beginning of the 21st-century the school gained specialist Technology College status.[3] The school offers GCSEs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.[4] The Wavell School also operates The Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme.[5]
