Wrenn Academy is a split-site school, with the two parts of its campus being a short walk apart. One part of the school is sited on the A5193 (former A509) in the south of the town, just west of the hospital (52.2963°N 0.6887°W / 52.2963; -0.6887 (Wrenn School, London Road site)). The other main site is situated on Doddington Road (52.2959°N 0.6948°W / 52.2959; -0.6948 (Wrenn School, Doddington Road site)), a few minutes from the London Road site. The Doddington Road site, which was formerly the boy's grammar school, houses years 9-11 along with the Art and Design Technology buildings, and in London Road the site of the former girl's grammar school is attended by years 7-8 and the school's sixth form. The school has a wide range of buildings ranging from 4 to 100 years old. The oldest buildings are those of the former grammar school, while the most modern addition being the music block, constructed in 2006.
A September 2009 OFSTED report rated the school with an overall Grade 3 (satisfactory), and a Grade 1 (Outstanding) for its sixth form).
