The Royal Harbour Academy
The Royal Harbour Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form 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). History Newlands Lane (Lower School) Previously Ellington School for Girls, the school amalgamated with The Hereson School (a boys' school in Broadstairs) in September 2009, and was renamed The Ellington and Hereson School. The school was initially based on the two former school sites, but all pupils were transferred to the former Ellington School site on Newlands Lane in 2011 (the Ellington School had been rebuilt in 2007). 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
