  • The school opened in 1976 as a mixed comprehensive school with 800 pupils.
  • In September 2005, it gained specialist status in Science, Mathematics and Computing.
  • In 2007, the School used RFID tags embedded in students jumpers unwillingly, which meant that they could track the students.[3][4]
  • The school became an academy in August 2012.

  • As of September 2014, there are approximately 1,200 pupils attending, with over 75 teaching staff.
  • On 3 July 2015, the school officially launched its Teaching School programme following the outstanding performance in GCSE examinations. Hungerhill School was one of 52 schools across England to be granted this status in that round.
  • In Summer 2016, a new teaching block was completed on the school site. The building includes an examination hall, multi-use classrooms and laboratories. It is the first teaching block in the school to support the use of renewable energy, with solar panels installed on the roof.
