An Ofsted report in April 2017 gave the school a "Requires improvement" grade in all categories; at that time the school had 140 students[4] although its capacity was 500.[1]
From April 2018, the school was re-launched as a member of BMAT,[5] an academy trust which runs schools in Essex including Burnt Mill Academy and Epping St John's.[6][7] It was renamed to the BMAT STEM Academy.[8]
