Workington Academy officially opened today and welcomed secondary students into the new building.

It's been formed by the merging of two former schools, Southfield Technology College and Stainburn School, which both previously had critical Ofsted reports.

To have a £16million investment in them, in their education, in their future, I think has made them feel incredibly important, incredibly fortunate and we've all said we will be worthy of the investment that the community and government has given us."

– Collette Macklin, Head of Workington Academy
