History

The last headteacher of Pickering High School was Elaine Wadsworth, who was replaced by a principal, Cathy Taylor, when the school became an academy.

In September 2011 the school moved into a new £48.5 million building [2] which replaced an older one, bringing the school within one site, with a new sports hall to support sports college status.[ citation needed ]

The school's GCSE results have improved over the years.[ citation needed ]

After becoming an academy the school was originally known as Sirius Academy. However, in 2015 Thomas Ferens Academy joined the Sirius Academy Multi Academy Trust and was renamed Sirius Academy North. Sirius Academy was renamed Sirius Academy West to distinguish the two institutions.
