History

Until September 2011, the school was known as James Brindley Science College. In 2011 it became an academy as part of the Ormiston Academies Trust.

The school was the first academy in the country to set up a new sixth form, in 2013. Although as these student finish A-levels, the sixth form is being disbanded.[2]
