[edit] History
Commonweal School was founded in 1927 as a Grammar School, and is therefore one of the oldest secondary establishments in the area. In 1965 it became a Senior High School, taking pupils of all abilities aged 14 to 18. There was a second re-organisation in 1983 when Commonweal became a seven-form entry comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 16. At present there are approximately 1100 pupils on roll. It has recently been awarded the title; Performing Arts College.
The current headteacher is Keith Defter, Head of the Head Teachers in Swindon.
