The Ellington And Hereson School

The Royal Harbour Academy is a mixed secondary school located over two sites in Ramsgate in the English county of Kent. The school was formed in September 2015 from the merger of The Ellington and Hereson School located on Newlands Lane (the current Lower School site) and The Marlowe Academy located on Stirling Way (the current Upper School site). HistoryNewlands Lane (Lower School)Previously Ellington School for Girls, the school amalgamated with The Hereson School in September 2009, and was renamed The Ellington and Hereson School. The school was initially based over the two former school sites, but all pupils were transferred to the former Ellington School site on Newlands Lane in 2011 . In March 2015 it was announced that The Ellington and Hereson School was proposed to merge with The Marlowe Academy from September 2015. Reasons for the merger included that the site for The Ellington and Hereson School was restricting its growth as a successful school. Stirling Way (Upper School)The Marlowe Academy was founded in 2005 as an academy, with thirty million pounds spent on the new school buildings. It was intended to replace the existing Ramsgate School (previously known as Conyngham School), which had been marked as "failing" after inspections by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted). In January 2011, the school leadership said they were disappointed in its standings in the performance tables, showing it third from last, but said that "this academy was set up to solve the problems in a particular area and we are doing that", with the 67% proportion of pupils achieving five A*-C grades at GCSE being better than previous years. A particular problem faced by the school is described as the "low academic standards of pupils coming into the Academy from local primary schools".
