Wales High School is an academy for 11–19 year olds, located in Kiveton, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. Opened in 1970, the school provides education for its many connecting villages. Kiveton Park, Harthill, Todwick, Wales, Thurcroft and South Anston are the major villages which rely on Wales High School to educate their children. Despite being located in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, the school is sometimes erroneously classed as being in Sheffield, yet it also has a Worksop telephone code. There is often confusion around the fact that the school is not in the country of Wales, nor is it in the small neighbouring village of Wales, South Yorkshire, which is less than a mile away. It is in fact situated in Kiveton Park. The school was previously a specialist in Business and Enterprise however, upon receiving academy status, the school relinquished its specialism owing to regulations stating that academies can not have an additional specialist status.
