Due in part to the fact that it is situated in Aston, it has children from a wide variety of ethnic groups. As of February 2013 the highest proportion of children at the school are of Bangladeshi origin at 33%, with Pakistani at 18%, Black Somali at 13%, Black Caribbean at 11%, Black African at 6% and White British at 3%. A very high proportion do not speak English as their first language.[1] Reflecting the cultural diversity within the school, the school has its own steel band.[2]

In addition to having Technology College status, the Academy has gained a range of awards and accreditations, including Applied Learning, School Achievement, Healthy Schools and International School awards.
