Tarleton Academy is a secondary Academy situated in Tarleton, Lancashire, England; the headteacher is Simon Day. The school caters for 11 to 16-year-olds.[2] The academy is scheduled a complete building renewal to be completed in September 2023, with a total cost of 23 million pounds.
The school has its own swimming pool facilities,[4] which the school operates itself and are used by local primary schools. In 2003, the school secured a £850,000 bid to build a new sports hall, after going 30 years without one. The sports hall can accommodate four badminton courts, and was completed in 2004.[5] There had been plans to build a sports hall as far back as 1991, when a proposed £350,000 scheme was to be part funded by £180,000 from the council and £75,000 from the Sports Council, however Lancashire County Council failed to commit funds to the scheme and it was shelved.[6]
In late November 2011, as part of the school's conversion to Academy status, the Governing Body announced that the school would be renamed as Tarleton Academy from January 2012.
