Prince William was killed in an air crash less than a year after the school opened. As of 2015, the school reopened as an academy. It now provides education from years 7 all the way through to sixth form. ==Departments== Prince William School itself is broken into different specialized blocks such as: The Sutton Maths Department is located at the back of the school, near the soccer courts, the Drama studio and the Science Block.
