Following an Ofsted inspection in October 2023, where the school was judged to be Inadequate, the school has undergone a period of significant change in terms of both leadership and governance; and where a significant amount of work has already been undertaken to rapidly improve the school in all areas.

The Propeller Academy Trust, a special school multi-academy trust, has been named by the Department for Education as the school's sponsor and it is anticipated that the school will join the Trust in February 2025.
