As part of Southampton City Council's review of secondary schooling program called Learning Futures, the school closed in July 2008.

It merged with Grove Park Business and Enterprise College in September 2008 to become Oasis Academy Mayfield with the Woolston site finally closing in 2011, and the site being handed back to the Southampton City Council.

Oasis Community Learning took over the Grove Park Business and Enterprise College building and Woolston buildings, with the Woolston site housing the KS4 students, with the KS3 on the Grove site.

Woolston School Language College has now been closed, and all students have been moved to the new build of Oasis Academy Mayfield school at grove park.
