In May 2009, the school was put under special measures, but as of March 2011 they were classed by Ofsted as a "satisfactory school with good and outstanding features". The school was partnered with Longsands Academy as part of the 'St Neots Learning Partnership', and following a consultation, the school became an academy from 1 September 2011 and was renamed Ernulf Academy.

Sixth Form

In June 2015, Ernulf Academy announced that it would be temporarily closing its Sixth Form at the end of the school year. In September, a combined St Neots Sixth Form Centre, for both Ernulf and Longsands students, was opened in place of the Longsands Sixth Form building. In September 2018, the St Neots Sixth Form Centre was renamed Astrea Sixth Form St Neots after the St Neots Learning Partnership was merged with Astrea Academy Trust.
