In November 2012, headteacher Jackie Overton was suspended, along with two other staff, for undisclosed reasons. Pupils were suspended for making 'malicious comments' regarding the incident. [5] Shortly afterwards, the school was placed in special measures under the ruling of an acting headteacher, Martin Ebbage. [6] [7]

In January 2015 the school converted to academy status and was renamed Outwood Academy Newbold. The school is now part of the Outwood Grange Family of Schools.
