Weatherfield Academy (formerly Weatherfield School) is a mixed special school
located in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England. The school accepts pupils from all
over the Central Bedfordshire area.

The school is for pupils whose special educational needs are categorised as
Moderate Learning Difficulties. The school educates children aged 7 – 19

Facilities at Weatherfield include a school farm, IT suites, CDT department, Food

economics department, and a science laboratory.

In February 2011, Central Bedfordshire Council submitted proposals to merge

Weatherfield with Glenwood School and Hillcrest School over the three sites in
Dunstable and Houghton Regis.[1] However, after consultation with pupils, staff and
parents, Weatherfield was not included in the merger, and was converted to academy
status instead. Glenwood School and Hillcrest School merged to form The Chiltern
School in 2012.[2]
