Previously a community school administered by Shropshire Council, The Lakelands School converted to academy status in December 2012. However the school continues to coordinate with Shropshire Council for admissions.
Lakelands Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. In addition the school offers some vocational courses in conjunction with Walford and North Shropshire College. Pupils at Lakelands Academy also have the option to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme.
