St Aldhelm's Academy (formerly Rossmore Community College) is a 12–18 mixed specialist school with Sports College status serving the Rossmore, Parkstone, Newtown, Wallisdown and Alderney areas of Poole, United Kingdom. It was previously named the Martin-Kemp Welch School, but was renamed Rossmore Community College in 2001. The school opened in October 1938 as Kemp-Welch Senior Council School and taught boys and girls in two different departments—the boys were housed in the west side of the building, while the girls were housed in the east. This was typical for a school of its time and there was a 'quad' in the middle of the school which divided the two schools. The school became a secondary modern after the Second World War and expanded rapidly in 1963 to house 600 students in both schools. An East Block was built onto the girls' school, housing additional classrooms, art rooms and a music room. The West Block was built across the boys' playground and housed classrooms, science labs and the boys' music room. Prior to this, new work shops and kitchens had been built.
