The Academy was opened in April 2012, following the closure of Burnham Upper School, which was deemed to require Special Measures in March 2011.

[3] Burnham Park was inspected by Ofsted again in July 2016, and overall graded 'Inadequate', leading to the school being placed in special measures.

Since the 2014 -2015 academic year, the school received extra pupil premium funding to support teaching of English, Maths and Science to narrow the attainment gap.

[8] When the school closed in August 2019 pupils were offered places at Bourne End Academy with coaches provided from Burnham.

In 2013 53% of pupils at the Academy achieved 5 GCSEs or equivalent at grades A*-C including English and Maths.

2017 results show an improvement to -0.40 for Progress 8 and 35% of pupils earned grade 5 or above in English and Maths.
