The Wrekin Old Trust has told families within its community that Old Hall School will be renamed Wrekin Prep in September 2025.
The organisation say the change is building on the relationship between the prep school and Wrekin College, which the school became part of in 2006, forming the Wrekin Old Hall Trust.
The school was founded in 1845, and for over 160 years it was housed in Wellington's oldest building. The school moved from the private preparatory school building to its current home on the Wrekin College campus when the two establishments merged.
Executive head at the Trust, Mr Toby Spence, said the new name would be part of a rebranding exercise that would see the school "openly celebrate its successes and strengths as a community which provides the best possible education from 4-18 years old".
