Previously a specialist arts college, in August 2011 the school converted to academy status. A 2008 Ofsted inspection assessed the school with Grade 1 (outstanding).
The school previously divided its student into "A" and "α" houses, but in October 2016 returned to houses used historically: Avon, Forest, Hurst and Solent.
World record attempt
In 2012 the school set the world record for most people standing on one leg for two minutes with 892 people. However, a problem with the video resulted in insufficient evidence for the record to be officially recognised.
Walled Garden and environment
A student group called "The Eco-Warriors" restored an 18th-century walled garden in the grounds with pigs, bees, and chickens in 2008.
The school achieved Eco-Schools silver in 2012.
