Following the restructuring of schools in Worcestershire in 1983, the Nunnery Wood Secondary School was renamed Nunnery Wood High School. The school gained Science College status in 2004.
Previously a community school administered by Worcestershire County Council, in August 2011 Nunnery Wood High School converted to academy status.
73% of students achieved five or more A* to C GCSE qualifications in the summer of 2008.[1] Students in Year 11 had the highest pass rate of all time for the school in the English Language GCSE in 2014, with over 82% of the school year achieving qualifications of A* to C in their GCSEs.[2][failed verification]
