Situated three minutes from the M54 motorway, Wrekin College is set in a beautiful campus of over 100 acres. Major building and refurbishment have taken place in recent years and the facilities are of the very highest standard. The school is a member of the Headmasters' Conference and has been fully co-educational since 1983. All the staff can be accommodated in school property on the campus and this enables a community spirit which is an important feature of the school ethos. Most of Wrekin's pupils go on to degree courses at University and they are expected to work hard to achieve their full academic potential. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities is available and pupils are encouraged to develop their all-round interests. There is a strong tradition of music and drama in the school and links with the local Arts Association and other organisations which use the Theatre and Concert Hall provide an excellent stimulus for the continued development of cultural activities within the school. Excellent sporting opportunities are provided for all pupils and those with special talent are encouraged to compete at the highest level. Over seventy pupils are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme and adventure training and outdoor pursuits are followed with great enthusiasm. A strong Careers Department ensures good advice for the future and there is a special unit for pupils with dyslexia. Wrekin provides a disciplined and friendly environment in which pupils can flourish in all spheres and achieve their full potential.
