Maltings Academy

Maltings Academy is a secondary school in Witham, Essex, it is the larger of two secondary schools in Witham. It is a relatively new school as it is a replacement for the John Bramston School.

In October 2006 the previous school (John Bramston) was graded 4 by Ofsted, meaning 'Inadequate' and as a result the school was put under special measures. In March 2015 the school was given grade 1 by Ofsted, meaning 'Outstanding'.

A new head, Mike O'Sullivan was appointed Easter 2007, replacing the longstanding former head Ted Rowley. John Bramston School became Maltings Academy in September 2008. A new Principal, Mr John Szynal was appointed in the spring term of 2010.

The Academy is now in a new £26 million purpose built building that was constructed by Carillion (Completed summer 2011). The school was recently inspected in 2015 and the school achieved 'Outstanding' by Ofsted.
