History

In 2006, Ailwyn community college and Ramsey Abbey School amalgamated into a single school. Ramsey Abbey had been active for centuries since it was founded by monks, whereas Ailwyn was founded in the 1950s. On 1 September 2011, the school officially gained academy status.

In 2011, the school was labelled by Ofsted as "A good school with outstanding features". In both 2014 & 2016, it was labelled as "requires improvement." In 2018, the school re-obtained the status of "Good" from Ofsted.[1]

gollark: I tend to drop my phone and stuff constantly, so not having a case would be silly.
gollark: I already have a big case for it anyway.
gollark: Just make the phone a bit thicker, I guess?
gollark: In any case, I have so far dropped my phone on solid surfaces... upward of 10 times, I think, and water zero.
