St Regis Church of England Academy is a coeducational Church of England secondary school and sixth form located at Tettenhall, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north-west of Wolverhampton City Centre, in the West Midlands county of England.[1] It was originally formed as The Regis School in 1955 until 1998 when it changed its name to The King's Church of England School. After becoming part of the Three Spires Trust, the decision was take to change the name to St Regis Church of England Academy to coincide with the start of the 2023/24 school year.[2] It was extensively rebuilt/refurbished in 2012 and can now accommodate up to 900 pupils.
Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Wolverhampton City Council,[3] in April 2023 The King's Church of England School converted to academy status.[4] The school is now sponsored by the Three Spires Trust,[5] but continues to be under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Lichfield.
The school's facilities include: Dance studio, drama studios, theatre, lecture theatre, fitness suite, sports hall, swimming pool, MUGA/tennis courts, cinder running track, faith centre and large playing fields.

New Badge[edit]
To coincide with the launch of the new name of the academy a new badge has been designed to reflect not only its history, but the present and future. The tree celebrates the one which was on the original Regis School badge. A cross in the top left corner is taken from the city of Wolverhampton coat of arms, the crown in the middle represents the continued links to The King and cross keys of St Peter in the top right hand corner represent close links to sister academy St Peter's Collegiate Academy.
