It opened in September 2009 to replace Parkfield High School, which occupied a building at Bilston town centre and another at Lawnswood Avenue in the Lanesfield area of Wolverhampton. However, in September 2012, SWB Academy moved to a £25 million new build in Bilston.
The academy's houses are Attwood, Brindley, Weston, Sanderson and Sixth (for 16-19 year old sixth-form students only). They are named after Richard Attwood, James Brindley, Simon Weston and Tessa Sanderson.
The school colours of the academy relate to its houses: Attwood is light blue, Brindley is dark purple, Weston is medium red, and Sanderson is light green.
