Technical students were transferred to the newly opened Abbs Cross Technical High School in 1958, and Brittons was redesignated as a coeducational secondary modern school.

The sixth form provision was removed in 1990 due to local authority restructuring and Brittons became an 11-16 school.

It gained Specialist Technology college status in 2001, and became a Foundation School in 2009.

The Brittons Academy had an Ofsted report of "Good" in all categories following an inspection on 5/6 October 2022.
