Smeltings Academy, sometimes referred to as Smeltings, was a Muggle public school that Dudley Dursley and Piers Polkiss attended in the 1990s. It was also the alma mater of Dudley's father, Vernon Dursley, who once remarked that he found the portions of food served at the school to be very filling, but his wife disagreed. Its school motto seems to be Caveat Smeltonia, which is Latin for "let him beware of the things of [the place called] Smelton" or similar, or "Let she of Smelton beware".
