Closure

In September 2012 The Wolds College merged with Cordeaux School and in January 2013 became part of Cordeaux Academy under The Academies Enterprise Trust. Cordeaux Academy's Sixth Form was moved into the space vacated by the area used for hair and beauty. Cordeaux Academy was taken over by Tollbar MAT in September 2017 and Renamed Louth Academy North. At this point all post 16 education was removed from the former college. The building is now used as an extension of the main Louth Academy North building.
