The school was formed in September 2012 from the merger of Brackenbury Infant School, Grove Infant School, Southwell County Primary School, Underhill Community Junior School and Royal Manor Arts College.[2] As an academy, the school was originally sponsored by The Aldridge Foundation and Dorset County Council,[3] and has specialisms in Environmental Science and in Sports Science.[2] A sixth form was opened in September 2015[4] and is Dorset's first.
Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs.[5]
A new campus, Maritime House, opened in September 2016.[6] In September 2016 Aldr idge Education multi-academy trust took over the responsibility for all Aldridge Schools from the Aldridge Foundation. In October it was announced that the Academy would not be joining the multi-academy trust and that Aldridge were standing down as sponsor. [7]
