History
editStamford Queen Eleanor School was formed in the late 1980s after the dissolution of the town's two comprehensive schools - Fane and Exeter. Previously a community school administered by Lincolnshire County Council, Stamford Queen Eleanor School converted to academy status on 1 November 2011 but continues to coordinate with Lincolnshire County Council for admissions. In 2014 the school became a sponsored academy under the Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust and was renamed Stamford Welland Academy. In 2017 Ofsted rated the school as “good” in all areas.[2]
