Established in 1912,[2] the school admits pupils mainly from Easington Lane Primary School, Eppleton Academy, Hetton Primary School and Hetton Lyons Primary School.[3]
A new school building was constructed on the same site and was completed in September 2016.[4] The new building was officially opened by the local Member of Parliament, Bridget Phillipson, on 13 January 2017.[5]
Previously a community school administered by Sunderland City Council,[6] in September 2022 Hetton School converted to academy status and was renamed Hetton Academy.[7] The school is now sponsored by the Northern Education Trust.[8]
Hetton Academy offers GCSEs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils. Most graduating students go on to attend Headways Sixth Form, a sixth form provision offered by a consortium of secondary schools (including Hetton Academy) and Sunderland College.[9]
