History
The school converted to academy status in 2011.[5]
In 2014, a former maths teacher at the school was found guilty of sexually assaulting a child.[6][7]
In September 2016, the school was visited by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Vice-Lord Lieutenant of Essex, Jonathan Douglas-Hughes, to promote the Heads Together campaign.[8]
In February 2024, an ICT teacher at the school was banned for life from teaching by a Teaching Regulation Agency panel after he was found to have had an "inappropriate" and "sexually motivated" relationship with a pupil at the school.[9]
In May 2024, the academy received a "requires improvement" rating from Ofsted.[10] In response, the academy instituted a policy of punishing pupils who didn't score highly enough on tests and homework. The policy was criticised by parents at the school after an incident where a Year 7 student received a detention for scoring less than 90%.[11]
