The Winsford Academy (simply referred to as 'Winsford Academy' and formerly The Winsford E-ACT Academy) is an 11–16 mixed Secondary School with Academy Status in Winsford, Cheshire, England. It was established in September 2010 following the amalgamation of the two predecessor schools; Verdin High School and Woodford Lodge High School. It is located on the campus of the former Verdin High School on Grange Lane that was established in 1970 and was initially one component of a two-campus school, with history spanning from its original founding as Verdin Technical School in 1895.
