Sir Thomas Wharton Academy (formerly Sir Thomas Wharton Community College and Edlington Comprehensive School) is a coeducational academy school and sixth form located in Edlington, Doncaster, England. It accepts pupils from the surrounding areas including Edlington, Warmsworth, Tickhill, Loversall, Wadworth, Micklebring and Braithwell. Its feeder schools are: Warmsworth Primary, Edlington Hilltop, Edlington Victoria, Wadworth Primary, Tickhill Estfeld and Tickhill St Mary's.
Sir Thomas Wharton Academy operates a tutor group system. In the past groups contained pupils of all ages, but in 2009 new tutor groups were formed which included two to four members of each year group, including members of the Sixth Form. Form groups were then changed again at the start of the 2014 school year to include only students up to year 11. Sixth Form students now have their own specialised form groups.
The school operates a house system, introduced at the same time as mixed age tutor groups. All pupils and members of staff are separated into one of four houses. Each house has its own pastoral care team which deals with student issues. The four houses are named after country halls: Cusworth, Brodsworth, Chatsworth and Wentworth. Different coloured ties are used to identify to which house students belong.
