The school changed its name (from Northcliffe School) in September 2009, when it became an academy.[1] Previously it had been Northcliffe School, a secondary modern school.
The Academy is sponsored by the School Partnership Trust (SPT), a Yorkshire-based educational and social charity, and co-sponsored by Doncaster Council and Dearne Valley College.[1]
The school was the centre of some controversy in the early 2000s due to a proposal to convert it into an academy run by the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, a Christian charity. The proposal was withdrawn in 2004 after legal threats by the National Secular Society.[2][3]
