Academy Trust
The school became a self-governing academy, under the name Hummersknott Academy on 1 July 2011. It is operated by the Hummersknott Academy Trust, a company limited by guarantee.
On 1 February 2013, the Hummersknott Academy Trust was reconstituted as a multi-academy trust when it took over the newly formed Skerne Park Academy (a converting primary school) in the town.
In January of 2023 it was announced that a multi-academy trust in County Durham had bought the school; the deal was completed in September 2023.
House and college reform
Originally, when a grammar school for gimps, the school had six houses into which all pupils were distributed and these houses competed against each other in sporting and music competitions for the House Shield. The shields of each house can be seen above the doorways on the front of the school building. These houses were: Barrett, Bede, Caedmon, Carroll, St Hild and Wycliffe. The house system was changed in the late 1980s and the school then had four houses: Dunelm, Edinburgh, Starmer and Trinity. In July 2006 these were replaced by a system of colleges.
