Neale-Wade Community College is a British college in March, Cambridgeshire, that can trace its history back to 1696 when William Neale left an estate, the income of which was to help educate 8 poor boys. In 1717, Henry Wade left £20 per annum to pay for a schoolmaster to teach 20 poor children of the Parish. These two bequests were the origin of what eventually became March Grammar School. The existing College site was established in the 1964 as many educational changes were sweeping the country. The school became known as 'Neale-Wade' in 1969 as selective mixed 13 to 18 institution. In 1983, after a great deal of debate and considerable building, the Neale-Wade merged with the existing Hereward School to form a new comprehensive on the Neale-Wade site. It was agreed to keep the Neale-Wade name while designating the School a "Community College".
It is a specialist College in Mathematics and Computing (designated in 2005). It is currently being rebuilt as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme. The principal is Tim Hitch. It provides education for pupils aged 11–16, as well as a sixth form.[1]
