A school letter was sent out to all pupils before end of term in July 2011 stating: "The Armthorpe School Governing Body has passed a unanimous resolution to enter into formal consultation regarding conversion to Academy status with Ossett Academy and Sixth Form College, Wakefield, as sponsor."
From September 2011, all students who has a normal tie is required to trade it in for a clip-on tie which must be worn at all times. Also from September 2011, there will be many changes around the staff.
