The main school was established in 1970[1] when the former Sandown Grammar and Fairway Secondary Modern schools merged to form Sandown High School. In 2005, it gained status as a sports college.[2]
As part of the reorganisation of the education system on the Isle of Wight, Academies Enterprise Trust was successful in their bid against Innovative Schools and East Wight Educational Trust to take over the school. Sandown Bay Academy was formed on the main school site and the site of former Sandham Middle School, now North School, in 2011, with the age range extended to Year 7 to Year 13. It is now one of 5 secondary providers on the Isle of Wight.
The 2011 pass rates for the school were 27% A*/A, 73% A*‐C and overall pass rate of 99% for A Level and 75% A* to C for GCSE. [3]
