The school was formed in September 2011, when Greencroft Business and Enterprise Community School (also known as Greencroft Comprehensive School and just Greencroft School) and Stanley School of Technology (former South Stanley Comprehensive School) formally merged. Tanfield School opted not to take part in the merger and remains a separate entity.

It opened its new £30 million campus in September 2013, but was not officially opened until March 2014 by the Duke of York, KG.^[1]

In 2013 and 2015, Ofsted inspectors rated the academy as 'requires improvement'.^[2]
