In 1988 the school became Archbishop Thurstan Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. The school converted to academy status in 2008 and was renamed Archbishop Sentamu Academy. Rebuilding works at the school as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme were completed in 2011.^[2]
