Woolston School Language College was a secondary comprehensive school in Southampton, Hampshire, in southern England. The most recent Ofsted inspection was on 10 October 2006.[1] The school was a Specialist Language College for student that were 11 to 16 years old. There were around 770 pupils enrolled in the school at the time of closure.

As part of Southampton City Council's review of secondary schooling program called Learning Futures, the school closed in July 2008. It merged with Grove Park Business and Enterprise College in September 2008 to become Oasis Academy Mayfield with the Woolston site (although it is still being used for KS4 students). When building work for the new school gets finished (predicted for 2011), the site will be handed over to the Local Education Authority.

Oasis Academy Mayfield

At the end of the 2008 summer term, the school closed it doors as Woolston School Language College, and merged with Grove Park Business and Enterprise College. The school site will be used for KS4 students, until the new building on the Grove site is completed (currently predicted as 2011). The future of the site after this is unknown.
