On 1 October 2011 it became Stafford's first academy school. As a converter academy (a formerly maintained school that has voluntarily converted to academy status), it is answerable directly to the Department for Education, but maintains strong working links with Staffordshire County Council. In recent years, the Academy has specialised in mathematics and computing.
