The Academy opened in September 2008 in temporary accommodation admitting its first 180 pupils in year 7. In September 2010 the academy moved to a new purpose-built school building as it admitted its third year 7 year group. The building, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, was awarded the 2011 Stirling Prize.
The building itself is intersected by the running track which cuts underneath like a railway line in a way. This also divides the building into distinct sections therefore being an effective and interesting way to divide social space.
