Opened as a secondary modern in 1959 and originally designed to provide accommodation for just 300 pupils, the school is currently known as Acle Academy, a mixed, comprehensive school for pupils between the ages of 11 and 16. In 1978, it became comprehensive as part of a reorganisation of education within the county, and in 1992 the school became grant-maintained and self-governing, adopting foundation status in 1999 with the change in national government. In September 2003, the school was awarded specialist status in science and mathematics and became Acle Specialist Science High School and most recently, in September 2012, changed its name to Acle Academy.
