The school was first known as Hemsworth Grammar School, one of three grammar schools founded in 1547 by the Archbishop of York, Robert Holgate. It was renamed Hemsworth High School when the school became comprehensive. In 2001 the school gained specialist status as an Arts College and was renamed Hemsworth Arts and Community College. The school converted to academy status in August 2013 and was renamed Hemsworth Arts and Community Academy. The school is now sponsored by the Wakefield City Academies trust, but continues to coordinate with Wakefield Council for admissions.
Hemsworth Arts and Community Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs. The school also offers adult education courses to the local community.
