It became the Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls in 1974, a comprehensive school, from three schools – St Ann's Secondary Modern, the Wood End and The Grange schools. In April 1992 it became a grant-maintained school. In 1999 it became a foundation school.

The current Headteacher is Ms R Kruger, who became head teacher in 2014, succeeding Ms C Sydenham.

Buildings

In 2023, the school was one of those identified as having buildings that could be structurally unsound because reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) had been used in their construction. The areas out of action are the science blocks, the hall, canteen and old gym. However, works are undergoing to prop these up so will be safe for use soon.
