They established the Learning Alliance Academy Trust which both schools are part of. The school had, until recently, been located in temporary accommodation. The school moved fully into its newly built permanent accommodation in April 2017. The headteacher joined the school in June 2015. In the previous term no headteacher or senior team was in place. A senior leadership team was subsequently appointed and started work in the spring of 2016. The school makes occasional use of alternative provision at Haybrook College, a local pupil referral unit, to provide pupils who need it with a period of intensive support to manage their behaviour.
