Montsaye Academy

Rothwell is home to Montsaye Community College which was granted dual speciality status in late 2004, adding Humanities to its well established Language College status. Over 1200 students attend the college, which until recent years had consistently attained a 5 A*-C pass rate of around 60%, although the pass rate has fallen to around 51% in 2007. Mrs Sue Fennell is the current headteacher. The school received a good review from OFSTED in 2006. Montsaye is also the site of the recently developed Rothwell Swimming Pool, which now incorporates a modern sports centre used both by the school and the community.
