The school was previously maintained by the Cornwall Education Authority before 1 April 2011, when the school became an academy. In 2013 it formed Saltash Multi Academy Regional Trust (SMART), together with Landulph Primary School. The school is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it occupies a 13acre site overlooking Plymouth Sound and the Tamar and Lynher rivers.CurriculumKey Stage 3During Year 7, the first year at the school, students follow an Integrated Learning curriculum which teaches students to focus on SECRET skills, for the majority of their lesson time at school. Each half term is dedicated to a 'Know Zone' which focuses on each SECRET skill in turn, and is designed to prepare students for the remainder of their education and further lives. The lesson time dedicated to this in Year 8 is substantially less, and no lesson time is dedicated to the Integrated Learning curriculum in Year 9.Throughout KS3, students follow a broad curriculum, with the academic subjects and the arts. There is also significant Personal Development provision, with PSHEE, Citizenship and Careers being integrated into this time.Key Stage 4Key Stage 4 follows a curriculum aiming to get students GCSE qualifications. Students are required to take Maths, English Language and Literature, Combined or Separate Sciences, Religious Education and up to four GCSE, BTEC or vocational 'options'.

At the end of Key Stage 4, students can decide to continue onto the school's Sixth Form or go into another form of education.
